killing tmux
Now it's time to switch gears, we are onto a different part of our day and there are just too many sessions running and we need to clean up shop.
kill-server
One viable option is to nuke the whole dang thing. I actually do this more than you might think.
tmux kill-server
save and commit your work diligently before
kill-server
kill-session
A more reasonable option might be to kill a single session.
# kills the current sessiontmux kill-session# kills the session named scratchtmux kill-session -t scratch
choose-tree
Killing sessions one by one from the command line can be a bit tedious, and involve more keystrokes than necessary. Another option built right into tmux is choose-tree
. By default choose-tree
is bound to prefix+s
, that's pressing control+b then s. Once you are in choose-tree
, you can navigate around with your configured navigation scheme, press x
to kill a session, or pane or window then y
to confirm. You can also batch delete by tagging items with t, and killing them all at once with X
.
tmux choose-tree

fuzzy matcher
Here is my preferred way, using a fuzzy matcher. I recently improved this one by making it a popup and cleaning it up based on a repsonse,tmux-output-formatting by DJ Adams. I press prefix+k to bring up a kill-session menu.
bind k display-popup -E "\ tmux list-sessions -F '#{?session_attached,,#{session_name}}' |\ fzf --reverse -m --header=kill-session |\ xargs -I {} tmux kill-session -t {}"
note this is setup to multiple sessions all at once.
