in ~/.tmux.conf because every site on the web that reviewed it said that
was the way to go. Apparently, the developer uses {CONTROL-B} as the
default hotkey to avoid colliding with {CONTROL-A} which screen uses.
But everyone agrees that {CONTROL-B} is badly placed on the keyboard.
I installed it too. It seems a lot like screen to me and screen seems
to do what I need. I did hit ctrl a several times tho. lol I was
wondering what would happen if you started tmux then started a screen
session inside it.
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.
It can be changed to the same as screen. I don't want to change it
since I also have screen installed here as well. I'm just so used to
screen that I was doing it the same way in tmux. Old habits are hard to
break sometimes, especially use old fuddies. lol
