Tmux & Vim cheatsheet for designers who ship with agents
March 21, 2026
If you're working with coding agents, you should get comfortable in the terminal. Agents live there — once you're running multiple agents, tailing logs, and editing configs side by side, tools like tmux and vim stop being optional. I built this cheatsheet to help you (and me) get started. Press / to toggle between tools.
New to Tmux and Vim? Copy and paste the prompt into your favorite coding agent and get started with my config files immediately. View Config files: setup.md / tmux.conf / vimrc
Read https://clintonhalpin.com/dotfiles/setup.md.txt and follow the install instructions. Back up my existing configs first.
Also, if you can figure out how to exit vim, you're already ahead. In the age of agents, you're in rare company.
