+## Byobu
+
+[byobu](https://www.byobu.org) is a command-line tool that allows you to use
+numerous screens within a single terminal emulator instance. More specifically,
+it's a text based window manager, using either `screen` or `tmux`.
+
+This post is mostly just a self-reference as I explore byobu, so I may come back
+later and update this post with more content.
+
+### Screenshot
+
+Take a look below at my current multi-window set-up in byobu while I write this

+## Keybindings
+
+You can open the help menu with either of the following commands; they will both
+open the same manpage:
+
+```sh
+byobu --help
+# or
+man byobu
+```
+
+While the manpage contains a ton of information about the functionality of
+byobu (such as status notifications, sessions, and windows), the first location
+to explore should be the keybindings section.
+
+The keybindings are configured as follows:
+
+```txt
+byobu  keybindings  can be user defined in /usr/share/byobu/keybindings/ (or 
+within .screenrc if byobu-export was used). The common key bindings are:
+
+F2 - Create a new window
+F3 - Move to previous window
+F4 - Move to next window
+F5 - Reload profile
+F6 - Detach from this session
+F7 - Enter copy/scrollback mode
+F8 - Re-title a window
+F9 - Configuration Menu
+F12 -  Lock this terminal
+shift-F2 - Split the screen horizontally
+ctrl-F2 - Split the screen vertically
+shift-F3 - Shift the focus to the previous split region
+shift-F4 - Shift the focus to the next split region
+shift-F5 - Join all splits

+ctrl-F5 - Reconnect GPG and SSH sockets
+shift-F6 - Detach, but do not logout
