How to split panes in Tmux
I have recently installed tmux on my system and cannot get the terminal to split. I tried using Ctrl+B+% to split it, but nothing happens. I am most likely just overlooking something but help would be appreciated.
According to the default key bindings you have to press Ctrl + b then release and press % (or Shift + 5) in order to split the panes vertically.
Also, make sure to check the file ~/.tmux.conf if you have changed the key bindings.
You can also have a look at my tmux config here with more natural keybindings and some usability improvements.
