In tmux you can switch to window 2 with prefix_key + 2. I'd like to press rather prefix_key + u.

I tried in .tmux.conf this:

bind-key u 2

and this:

bind-key u select-window -t 2

Which doesn't work. Is it possible to create such mapping?

You need to include a colon to select based on index. Try this:

bind-key u select-window -t :2

  • Did you reload your .tmux.conf? Also keep in mind window index are zero based unless you change with: set-option -g base-index 1

  • I exited tmux and lxterminal several times. I know it's zero based.

    tmux instances share the same tmux session, _.tmux.conf is only read when the session is started. Make sure that the tmux list-sessions list is empty, or explicitly run source-file ~/.tmux.conf after starting tmux.

  • @Thor Thanks a lot. source-file was necessary.
