In tmux can I resize a pane to an absolute value

Question

Is it possible to tell tmux to \"resize a pane to 5 lines high\"?

I know I can do resize-pane -U 3 to move the dividing line, but sometimes when logging in

Answer 1

usage: resize-pane [-DLRUZ] [-x width] [-y height] [-t target-pane] [adjustment]

ie.

resize-pane -t 1 -y 5

Answer 2

What about Ctrl-B then (pressing Ctrl) + arrow?

If in tmux < 1.8, doing this by Ctrl-B then (Esc + arrow) * n, where n is the number of times you want to resize.

Answer 3

On a Mac, it'd have to be <Prefix> + H/J/K/L on Tmux 1.8+. The arrow keys didn't work for me.

Answer 4

In tmux 1.8, the size of the panes may be adjusted interactively. Under the default key bindings this may be done by the prefix key (C-b) followed by the meta key combined with arrow keys (M-arrow), where arrow is one of the up/down/left/right arrow keys.

E.g. Ctrl-b followed by Alt-Up will adjust the size upwards.

Note that the Alt key may be held down while the up/down/left/right keys are pressed multiple times to make multiple adjustments.

E.g. Ctrl-b followed by Alt-Up-Up-Left will adjust the size upwards by two movements and left by one movement.

Answer 5

while pressing your bind key dont release your fingers and user the narrwors U D L R to resize your pan. BindKey + R to resize to the right side.
