+====== Tmux Config File ======
+You can customize tmux with a config file in your home directory.
+The following is a running list of customizations I find useful.
+~/.tmux.conf
+<code bash>
+# use the vim motion keys to move between panes
+bind-key h select-pane -L
+bind-key j select-pane -D
+bind-key k select-pane -U
+bind-key l select-pane -R
+# set history scroll back size (default is 2000, also set terminal scroll back to be >= )
+set-option -g history-limit 5000
+# start window index at 1 instead of 0
+set -g base-index 1
+# Allow xterm titles in terminal window, terminal scrolling with scrollbar, and setting overrides of C-Up, C-Down, C-Left, C-Right
+set -g terminal-overrides "xterm*:XT:smcup@:rmcup@:kUP5=\eOA:kDN5=\eOB:kLFT5=\eOD:kRIT5=\eOC"
+# Set default shell
+set-option -g default-shell /bin/zsh
+# Allow mouse click to select a pane to be active
+set -g mouse-select-pane on
+# Mouse wheel scrolling for individual panes (newer versions of tmux; ie Fedora 27)
+set -g mouse on
+bind -n WheelUpPane if-shell -F -t = "#{mouse_any_flag}" "send-keys -M" "if -Ft= '#{pane_in_mode}' 'send-keys -M' 'copy-mode -e; send-keys -M'"
+# Mouse wheel scrolling for individual panes (older versions of tmux; ie CentOS 7)
+set -g mode-mouse on
+</code>
+  * **Notes:**
+    * When enabling mouse options in tmux, the ability to highlight text as normal for a copy/paste operation goes away. Using shift temporarily over rides tmux capture of the mouse.
+    * To copy/paste (if using mouse options)
+      * **hold shift**, select text, copy
+      * **hold shift**, right click, paste (or middle click)

+====== Tmux Aliases ======
+Some useful tmux aliases from ~/.bashrc
+<code bash>
+# Tmux Aliases
+alias tls='tmux list-sessions'
+alias tat='tmux attach -t'
+alias tns='tmux new -s'
