> The default is the same “prefix key” that ‘screen’ uses - Ctrl-b.

Isn't the default command key ctrl-A for screen? Which is why I've always had to change it (to ctrl-O which is much more sensible) because I can't live without ctrl-A in the terminal etc.




Yep. You can run tmux inside screen. Ctrl-A for screen, Ctrl-B for tmux. (Of course, you can redefine the command key in both screen and tmux.)


Yeah. Also happens to clash with my preferred window manager's prefix key (ratpoison).


You’re right! Thanks, yeah I can’t live without ctrl-a either, I use that all the time.
