Control-a is 'beginning of line'. Why would you possibly pick that?

- Veratyr 11y agoA lot of people aren't used to the Emacs bindings. Home and End are still widely used. Really annoys me when I have to work on a server that has the Ctrl-A bindings in tmux though.
- n0us 11y agoControl-s/e/d/f/whatever you want then. The point is to avoid having to reach all the way over to 'b'.
- sp332 11y agoIt's what screen uses by default, and a lot of people come to tmux from screen so they already have the muscle-memory. Not sure of the original logic though.
- bphogan 11y agoYou set prefix to C-a and then send double-presses on. So C-a-a still does beginning of line.
- CardenB 11y agoProbably because that's how screen did it before tmux
