I have discovered Terminator before I learned about Tmux, and I must say that the feature of dividing a terminal was mind blowing. Afterwards I discovered that, unfortunately, Terminator only works in X server, so I found tmux, which also works in the absence of an X server. The problem then was that I would have 2 multiplexing applications, each with different key bindings. So, below is my setup to use similar key bindings.
| Tmux | Terminator | |
| Vertical split | Ctrl a v | Ctrl-Alt v |
| Horizontal split | Ctrl a h | Ctrl-Alt h |
| Next pane | Ctrl a a | Ctrl-Alt a |
| New window/tab | Ctrl a w | Ctrl-Alt w |
| Switch window/pane* | Ctrl a x | Ctrl-Alt x |
Tmux uses windows and panes, while Terminator is using tabs and windows. It can be quite confusing in this regard, as the window from one application has a different meaning in the other.
The key bindings are easy to remember and intuitive.
Note: x represents a number from 0 to 9
