TMUX Notes

• Capture/Save scroll buffer to a file

  • 1. Capture using ctrl-b + :, then type capture-pane -S -3000, and return (where -2000 is how much to save)
  • 2. Save using ctrl-b + :, then type save-buffer filename.txt, and return

  • NOTE: It seems that the default buffer size is 2000, so may need to edit .tmux.conf and set history-limit to something larger if you want more scroll back buffer. (Example addition for .tmux.conf: set-option -g history-limit 3000)
