# sk-tmux(1)

open sk in tmux split pane

## NAME

sk-tmux - open sk in tmux split pane

## SYNOPSIS

**sk-tmux \[-u\|-d \[HEIGHT\[%\]\]\] \[-l\|-r \[WIDTH\[%\]\]\] \[--\] \[sk OPTIONS\]**

## DESCRIPTION

sk-tmux is a wrapper script for sk that opens sk in a tmux split pane. It is designed to work just like sk except that it does not take up the whole screen. You can safely use sk-tmux instead of sk in your scripts as the extra options will be silently ignored if you're not on tmux.
