Scenario#1
    As a Byobu-Tmux user, I want to broadcast command to multiple panes. So that I don't have to do the same thing for each pane.

    • enter command mode => PREFIX + :
    • active this feature => setw synchronize-panes on
    • deactive => setw synchronize-panes off
Scenario#2

  • solution#1
    • edit ~/.byobu/keybindings.tmux
fill-in these code below

# maximum pane and restore
unbind +
bind + new-window -d -n tmux-zoom 'clear && echo TMUX ZOOM && read' \; swap-pane -s tmux-zoom.0 \; select-window -t tmux-zoom 
unbind - 
bind - last-window \; swap-pane -s tmux-zoom.0 \; kill-window -t tmux-zoom

# resize pane
bind H resize-pane -L 1
bind J resize-pane -D 1
bind K resize-pane -U 1
bind L resize-pane -R 1

Scenario#3
    As a Byobu-Tmux user, I want to copy/paste text in pane with mouse. So that I can make that info more productive.

Difference between apt-get update and apt-get dis-upgrade

The “sudo apt-get upgrade” isn’t necessary. It’s a different type of upgrade from “dist-upgrade” You either run one or the other. “apt-get upgrade” will only update your existing packages while “apt-get dist-upgrade” will update your existing packages, remove obsolete packages and install new available packages as well. You can get breakages either way since new packages might be required as dependencies for upgraded packages in the case of “sudo apt-get upgrade” so using “apt-get dist-upgrade” is still the best way so far. Note: This only applies to LMDE since LMDE is a true rolling release. For any other flavor of Mint you’d use MintUpdate levels 1, 2 and 3 all the way. Perhaps someday Clem and Co. will figure out how to tailor MintUpdate so it works properly in LMDE but considering the rolling aspect of LMDE, I’m at a loss as to how theyn would do that. ref http://b10gger.wordpress.com/2011/03/20/difference-between-apt-get-upgrade-and-apt-get-dist-upgrade/ (thank for this website)
