Issue

I'm new to using tmux/vim and have found that I love it a lot more after using skwp's dotfiles (YADR). The only thing I'm having trouble figuring out is resizing the tmux splits and would love some help.

What I've tried

Per the documented .tmux.conf

# Pane resize in all four directions using vi bindings.
# Can use these raw but I map them to shift-ctrl-<h,j,k,l> in iTerm.
bind -r H resize-pane -L 5
bind -r J resize-pane -D 5
bind -r K resize-pane -U 5
bind -r L resize-pane -R 5
  • From what I understand bind is an alias for bind-key which YADR has the prefix as C-a
  • Per the tmux manual the -r indicates this key may repeat.
  • H = shift+ h
  • resize-pane is the tmux command
  • Lastly, -L indicated left

Results

  • What I get is the just switching between the various panes I have open instead of resizing the window.

What am i missing!?! Treat me like a super newb to this stuff because I am.

Looks like you're forgetting to press that Shift.

To resize the pane, you should press Ctrl+b, then release them, then press Ctrl+Shift+h to resize pane to the left.
