I have tried the: neww -t 1 -n Tab1
...and it doesn't work by itself. I have gotten some luck by adding the following in my .tmux.conf file: new-session -d -s Boards which allows me to "source" a config file for the "windows" that I want to automatically add, like so: source /home/user/.tmux/windows.conf ...which contains the following: attach-session -t Boards rename-window -t 0 Tab0 new-window -a -n Tab1 new-window -a -n Tab2 The problem is that it creates two sessions, "Boards" with the extra windows and a "0" session. I have to exit or kill the "0" session and do a "tmux attach" to get to my "Boards" session. I apologize for all of the "newbie" discussion; I have used "tmux" a lot on Linux machines, but I use it through the "byobu" package which does most of the "config" work for you. But, it also creates two sessions, one of which I kill to get to the one I want to use. Thanks for all of the suggestions so far!
