I do think tmux's use of ^B instead of ^A by default is > a bit awkward... ^A is rather comfortable with my Caps Lock key swapped with Ctrl. If the escape character of tmux can be configured to be ^A in the personal startup configuration of each user, the awkwardness of ^B is really a very minor issue. IMO, a sample screen-like config in /usr/share/examples will go a long way towards making tmux in the base system a comfortable and viable screen alternative :) --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEUEARECAAYFAkq3ttwACgkQ1g+UGjGGA7aMggCfZ5ImHci0uZKeD9kcs1z8zm+e R8AAl3fY32acdEatBLd83Ipm54qWq5w= =f/2O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
