byobu keybindings

byobu makes it easy to manage multiple terminal windows and panes. You can press F1 to get help which includes a list of keybindings.

C- refers to the keyboard's Control key. M- refers to the keyboard's Meta key which is the Alt key on a PC keyboard and the Option key on an Apple keyboard.

The prefix key is set to C-o

Some of the keyboard shortcuts that will be most useful to you are:

  • M-Up, M-Down - switch between byobu sessions
  • M-Left, M-Right - switch between windows in a session
  • shift-Left, shift-Right, shift-Up, shift-Down - switch between panes in a window
    • Windows users using Conemu must first disable "Start selection with Shift+Arrow" in "Mark/Copy" under the "Keys & Macro" settings
  • C-o C-s - synchronize panes
  • C-o z - zoom into and out of a pane
  • C-o M-1 - evenly split panes horizontally
  • C-o M-2 - evenly split panes vertically
  • M-pageup, M-pagedown - page up/down in scrollback

Note: Shift-F2 does not create horizontal splits for Windows users. Use the C-o | key binding instead.
