Micah, you saved my day (again)!

"command-mode" has nothing to do with a mythical tmux command-mode,
instead the specific vi command-mode is meant (seen the tmux way from
within the vi-edit table).

On a related note, someone (Micah, again?) posted manual page related
patches that were rejected as "too verbose".  Maybe they were, I would
have to see them in context, but there are a few places where a few
words could be dropped.  The following items (in the FAQ?) would have
helped me:

- Tmux' vi-edit command- versus normal-mode.
- "bind-key -c -t <table>" doesn't allow binding all tmux commands
  within <table>.

I'll propably come up with a few more, but thanks big-time for now!
