Hello,

i will create a new window with  (Ctrl+b) + c. But it don't work. I think all the shortcuts don't work, just rename-window ((Ctrl+b) + ,).

Thanks for any help.

Sounds like it could an issue with your ~/.tmux.conf file.  Mind posting it?

Try making a .tmux.conf and putting this:

set-option -g prefix ^B
bind-key ^B send-keys ^B

EDIT:

I'm sorry, you say only the shortcut for the rename window works? That definitely doesn't sound right.
Have you tried C-b + ? (that will list all the keybindings)

Anyway, how are you pressing those keys? You're supposed to hold down control and press b, then release control and press the command character, for example c.

Why you felt the need to post into a 9 year old solved thread to post advice that is already given in the thread eludes me (and making a report instead of a post at first..), however please don't do so in the future.
