Open same tmux session in two terminals
Opening a tmux session in a new window syncs the active window between the two terminals.
To open another terminal instance, attach it to the same session, but see a different window inside it, you have to create a new session:
t new-session -t 'old session name or number'
Changing the active window in this new session won't cause the window open in the first terminal to change.
