Because ctrl-a is extremely simple, physically ... for one hand, etc.
ctrl-b is fairly quick and easy if you use two hands (which is inferior to using one hand) and is quite a bit more difficult than ctrl-a when using one hand.
- asdasf 13y agoYou appear to have invented some other post to respond to, mine said nothing about ctrl+b.
- publicfig 13y agoCtrl+b is the standard key combo for tmux, which is why that was mentioned in the article in the first place.
- Sssnake 13y agoThat has nothing to do with the subject of the post in question though. He asked how people ever got accustomed to ctrl+a in the first place, since ctrl+a is already taken by your shell and every readline app, so 90% of people immediately remapped screen to use something else instead of ctrl+a. Tmux and ctrl+b don't enter into the discussion at all.
- thevdude 13y agoI ctrl+b with my left hand only. Pinky on left ctrl, index finger on b. I've never had any issues with it.
