Create and rename sessions
| Task | Keys |
|---|---|
| Create and switch to a new session | Ctrl-f C |
| Rename the current session | Ctrl-f w |
| Switch to a running session | Ctrl-f Ctrl-w |
| Detach and leave this session running | Ctrl-f d |
Create a session
Section titled “Create a session”Press Ctrl-f C to start a new, automatically named session in the focused pane’s directory. Your original session and its programs keep running. Only your view switches; other clients stay where they are.
This also works from the shared popup, creating a regular session rather than another popup.
Rename a session
Section titled “Rename a session”Press Ctrl-f w, type the new name, and press Enter. The draft appears in the top bar while you type. Esc or Ctrl-c cancels. Invalid or already-used names leave the current name unchanged.
Use the session picker to return to a running workspace. To attach by name from a shell, use zj work.
The legacy configuration opens the session manager for C and w instead of creating or renaming directly.
