This profile's own key art, drawn by the same code that builds the files you install — and a starting point, not a fixed layout. Once it is imported, every key, folder and page is yours to move, rename, re-icon or delete in the Elgato Stream Deck app. What this page cannot be is the rest of the box: one theme of the ones it ships, two Stream Deck models of six, one platform's key combinations, and no dials.
Version history
Every published revision of this profile, newest first — what changed and why, in the maker's own words.
V1 Sep 28, 2026 Latest version
v1.0 — first release, checked against tmux 3.7c's default key table on macOS. 45 keys across seven folders: Sessions, Windows, Panes, Navigation, Copy Mode, Misc and Help. 35 keys are prefix chords — Ctrl-b and then the key, sent as one tap — so splitting, zooming, swapping and breaking out panes, and moving between windows, no longer depends on remembering which symbol does what. Session keys type the tmux command at your shell prompt, ready for a name. Native Stream Deck features: 35 chord keys, a one-tap link to the tmux wiki, and three pinned keys on the home page. tmux runs inside a terminal, so bind the profile to your terminal app after install. ---
