[SOLVED] tmux cannot create a new window

Hi.

I'm trying to create a new window pressinf (Ctrl-a + c ) in tmux but tmux doesn't create anything.

Here is the .tmux.conf

# Statusbar properties.
set -g display-time 3000
set -g status-bg black
set -g status-fg cyan
set-window-option -g window-status-current-attr bright,reverse
set-window-option -g window-status-current-bg cyan
set-window-option -g window-status-current-fg black

# Use c-a instead of c-b as the prefix
unbind C-b
set -g prefix C-a
bind C-a send-prefix
bind a send-prefix

# Bind function keys.

nd -n F1 select-window -t 1
bind -n F2 select-window -t 2
bind -n F3 select-window -t 3
bind -n F4 select-window -t 4
bind -n F5 select-window -t 5
bind -n F6 select-window -t 6
bind -n F7 select-window -t 7
bind -n F8 select-window -t 8



#select-window -t 1

Works for me.
If you're using Gnome, you may be bit by a bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31910 & https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31946

BTW, not sure if it's just a bad paste - you're missing two letters:

# Bind function keys.

bind -n F1 select-window -t 1

No i'm using dwm and doesn't works. It only has one tab in the bottom bar called bash*.
And yes this is a bad paste.

I'm using dwm too.
Not sure if you've used tmux before, maybe you're not familiar with the bindings. You need to press and hold Ctrl, press 'a', release Ctrl and press 'c'.
