By default
& is bound to confirm-before -p "kill-window #W? (y/n)" kill-window. The use of confirm-before causes the prompting. If you do not want the confirmation prompt, then just rebind & directly to kill-window:bind-key & kill-window
You may also want to rebind
x, too. It defaults to a confirming version of kill-pane; though you might want to consider whether this one might be too easy to accidentally type before removing the confirmation.bind-key x kill-pane
Note: Both examples above are suitable for direct inclusion in
.tmux.conf, but you could also type them into a : prompt, or type them into a shell after tmux (though you would have to quote/escape & since it usually special to the shell).I think those are the only default bindings that use
confirm-before. You can check your particular configuration like this:tmux list-keys | grep confirm-beforeREFERENCES
