tmux/Pane/Q/How can I go to a pane by number quickly with a keyshort in tmux?

• How can I go to a tmux/Pane by number quickly with a Keyshort in tmux?

  • AI Answer

    • Short answer: press tmux/Prefix then q — tmux overlays each pane's number, and pressing that digit while the overlay is shown jumps straight to it.

    • How it works

      • <prefix> q runs tmux's display-panes command, which briefly shows each pane's number and temporarily binds digits 0–9 to select-pane. Press the digit before the overlay disappears (default display-panes-time is 1000 ms) to switch to that pane.
