#Terminal The default key to input `tmux` commands prefix is `[CTRL + B]`. In order to open a new window in `tmux`, we can hit the prefix 'i.e. `[CTRL + B]`' and then hit `C`: ![tmux_2](https://academy.hackthebox.com/storage/modules/77/getting_started_tmux_2.jpg) We see the numbered windows at the bottom. We can switch to each window by hitting the prefix and then inputting the window number, like `0` or `1`. We can also split a window vertically into panes by hitting the prefix and then `[SHIFT + %]`: ![tmux_3](https://academy.hackthebox.com/storage/modules/77/getting_started_tmux_3.jpg) We can also split into horizontal panes by hitting the prefix and then `[SHIFT + "]`: ![tmux_4](https://academy.hackthebox.com/storage/modules/77/getting_started_tmux_4.jpg) We can switch between panes by hitting the prefix and then the `left` or `right` arrows for horizontal switching or the `up` or `down` arrows for vertical switching. The commands above cover some basic `tmux` usage. It is a powerful tool and can be used for many things, including logging, which is very important during any technical engagement.
