Ctrl-B is the _worst_ shortcut ever devised (which is why it is used rarely... except on tmux). Just _thinking_ about it gives me the pain. My hand hurts.
And yet, this is a default shortcut for command mode in tmux. "But you can configure it!" — one might say. No, I won't be doing it on every system I manage, I have better things to do.
- zzalpha 10y agoEh, fair enough. I just reconfigure it and move on, but I grant you that doesn't necessarily work for everyone. shrug
- reedlaw 10y agoHave you ever tried using the alt/ctrl/shift keys on the other hand side? So for Ctrl-B you would use the right-hand pinky to hit ctrl and the left-hand index finger to hit B.
- daveloyall 10y agoOne of my "Why didn't I start doing this sooner?!" moments was copying my config files to all my machines. It all started with less(1)... Configuring it is a pain in the butt. One day, I couldn't remember how to do it on a new machine, so I just performed the following command... scp ~/.*less* ~/*less* newmachine: It was wonderful! Now I do the same thing for my emacs config, and my .xsession, and my hosts files, etc.
