That's my problem with Tmux. Ctrl-a,d is already burned into muscle memory, and for my applications Screen is "good enough".
- jitl 10y agoTmux expects you to rebind its leader to Ctrl-a once you're ready to move off of screen. Otherwise, it's default works nicely if you are nesting screen inside of Tmux or vis-versa
- AceJohnny2 10y agoI use Ctrl-a as the "go back to beginning of line" shortcut that Readline-capable programs offer by default [1]. That's actually one reason I never got used to Screen ;) [1] that is, using the Emacs keybindings it exposes by default. I know you can change that through .inputrc
- jyriand 10y agoI'm using Ctrl-a on tmux, and to get back to beginning on line I just have to press it twice Ctrl-a Ctrl-a.
- alaaibrahim 10y agoin your .tmux.conf set -g prefix C-a unbind C-b bind C-a send-prefix
- sophacles 10y ago1. start tmux 2. in the first shell you get run: tmux set-option prefix C-a 3. now your prefix is C-a like in screen. Permanentize it by changing tmux.conf :)
- mook 10y agoBeyond the other answers telling you to remap the prefix key: tmux used to come with an example configuration file that maps to the screen defaults: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/commit/2a1bb9#diff-fefa423d67264099ae82d4d2f5422b09 However, it appears that they have removed it at the beginning of the year. At least it's still in the commit history.
