Here are my tmux bindings which I have been using daily for over a year. These are configured in iTerm in the Profiles->Keys section using Send Hex Codes. Cmd-shift-c: New window Cmd-shift-l: New pane to the right Cmd-shift-h: New pane to the left Cmd-shift-k: New pane above Cmd-shift-j: New pane below Cmd-l: Focus pane on right Cmd-h: Focus pane on left Cmd-k: Focus pane above Cmd-j: Focus pane below Cmd-1: Select first window Cmd-2: Select second window ... Option-h: Previous window Option-l: Next window Command-/: Enter copy mode I have the same bindings in MacVim. The nice thing about using command is that it doesn't interfere with other cli apps like ctrl.
