💖 byobu-keybindings(1) — the byobu manual 💖

okay bestie, sit down, because this one is short and it slaps. This is the manpage for byobu-keybindings, part of the byobu family. It's tiny. It's powerful. It's giving "one job, done flawlessly." ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

byobu-keybindings — toggle on/off Byobu's keybindings 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

byobu-keybindings

that's it. no flags. no args. no nonsense. she simply is. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: byobu-keybindings toggles on and off Byobu's keybindings in the current tmux(1) or screen(1) session. Read that again bestie — it will only operate against the current session. Not your other sessions. Not your neighbor's sessions. Just the one you're in right now. periodt. 💀

This executable exists as an alternative to pressing Shift+F12 — iconic shortcut, love her — but it's specifically here for those environments where Shift+F12 just... does not work. (e.g., on the Linux console TTY, where the vibes are different and the keys are unavailable 😭). So if the keyboard shortcut ghosted you, this binary has your back. 🫶

And some Byobu users toggle these keybindings when they interfere with other programs using the same keybindings (e.g., mc(1)). So like, when your keys are getting stolen by another app being the main character, you flip the switch and reclaim your peace. 🌈
