I use a backtick, but don't edit much e.g. markdown in my tmux sessions, and always use $(...) for command substitution so I don't normally feel any pain. One oddity with tmux is that to escape the control character you don't press it twice, you press the escape char then ctrl-b, so that is a lot of extra movement around the keyboard
- fwip 7y agoCould you bind prefix + ` to insert a literal backtick? I've only ever used the default ctrl-b prefix so I'm not sure.
- rabidrat 7y agoBacktick is my favorite too. Interestingly I thought it was an obscure choice, but it seems to be the 3rd most popular prefix from an analysis of tmux.conf files on github (after Ctrl+A and Ctrl+Space). I use `` (double-backtick) to escape the backtick and it's eminently reasonable.
