Maybe tmux has something like screen, a combination to send a C-a (or any other prefix combination you set) to the running terminal. I'd set something else -- although C-a is easy to type (at least here, control in home row), it's used in some applications, like anything that uses readline (if in Emacs mode; it seems readline also has a vi mode) and Emacs itself. -- Nuno J.
