What were they thinking?
Ctrl + B for the most common shortcut you need

Don't know.
I only use tmux to detach from my christian minecraft server so I don't get SSH timeout and rek the server.
Benjamin Bailey
I believe it's because when tmux was new a lot of people were still using screen sessions within tmux, so ^B was chosen to prevent confusion with ^A. Pretty much the first line of the example config is how to remap this back to ^A.

all the good ones were already taken
Ethan Rogers
ever run the command with an ampersand (&) at the end? or configure the minecraft server as a service?

Justin Johnson
yeah but why is it across the entire keyboard. I can't press it with one hand alone

tits or gtfo

>If we make the shortcut awful enough maybe the retards at Jow Forums can get it into their thick skulls that it is in fact OK to actually configure their shit
Sadly it didn't work, Jow Forums is after all full of retards running stock vi because it's le unix standard for remoting
Aaron Hall
set -g prefix C-a
set -g base-index 1
setw -g pane-base-index 1

tmux is totally unnecessary when working locally if you are already using a tiling window manager.
It's still handy for SSH sessions, though.

If you're going to learn something, you better learn the defaults. Tmux has shit defaults

Outside of sysadmin work this never happens. Sysadmins are the only people allowed to use this (in my opinion flimsy) excuse, but that doesn't excuse the unemployed NEETs that make up Jow Forums

The real reason will shock you
[spoiler]The default key is C-b because the prototype of tmux was originally developed inside screen and C-b was chosen not to clash with the screen meta key.[/spoiler]

Christ that's retarded
Ayden Fisher
can't press ctrl+b with one hand, what are you? a girl?
Jordan Morris
Because c-a is used in readline to jump to the start of the line. Not that c-b is much better, real hackers use c-g.
Ian Lopez
What is there to rice in Tmux? Your prefix key? Some copy and paste shit? Vi mode? Mouse mode? Change the index from 0 to 1 because the people who made Tmux are retarded?
Most people who use Tmux are just using it as a splitter and multiplexer, which can be done via C+b (window index) with splitting done by C+% or C+".
It's pretty apparent that you have never used Tmux, faggot. What's even funnier is that you can get all the default keybindings with C+?.
Liam Young
In defense of C-b, it doesn't get in the way of other keybindings.
