I do not use C-b as the tmux prefix key because it interferes with my muscle memory for Emacs where C-b invokes backward-char (i.e., move the cursor back by character(s)).
So I use C-j instead as the prefix key. While C-j also happens to be a useful Emacs key-binding, I use it quite rarely in Emacs. As a result, I do not have strong muscle memory for C-j and I can use it as the prefix key in tmux quite comfortably.
Here is my tiny .tmux.conf: https://github.com/susam/dotfiles/blob/main/.tmux.conf https://github.com/susam/dotfiles/blob/main/.tmux.conf
