Bindings

tmux may be controlled from an attached client by using a key combination of a prefix key, followed by a command key. This configuration uses C-a as a secondary prefix while keeping C-b as the default prefix. In the following list of key bindings:

• <prefix> means you have to either hit Ctrl + a or Ctrl + b
• <prefix> c means you have to hit Ctrl + a or Ctrl + b followed by c
• <prefix> C-c means you have to hit Ctrl + a or Ctrl + b followed by Ctrl + c

This configuration uses the following bindings:

• <prefix> e opens the .local customization file copy with the editor defined by the EDITOR environment variable (defaults to vim when empty)
• <prefix> r reloads the configuration
• C-l clears both the screen and the tmux history
• <prefix> C-c creates a new session
• <prefix> C-f lets you switch to another session by name
• <prefix> C-h and <prefix> C-l let you navigate windows (default <prefix> n is unbound and <prefix> p is repurposed)
• <prefix> Tab brings you to the last active window
• <prefix> - splits the current pane vertically
• <prefix> _ splits the current pane horizontally
• <prefix> h, <prefix> j, <prefix> k and <prefix> l let you navigate panes ala Vim
• <prefix> H, <prefix> J, <prefix> K, <prefix> L let you resize panes
• <prefix> < and <prefix> > let you swap panes
• <prefix> + maximizes the current pane to a new window
• <prefix> m toggles mouse mode on or off
• <prefix> U launches Urlscan (preferred) or Urlview, if available
• <prefix> F launches Facebook PathPicker, if available
• <prefix> Enter enters copy-mode
• <prefix> b lists the paste-buffers
• <prefix> p pastes from the top paste-buffer
• <prefix> P lets you choose the paste-buffer to paste from

Additionally, copy-mode-vi matches my own Vim configuration

Bindings for copy-mode-vi:

• v begins selection / visual mode
• C-v toggles between blockwise visual mode and visual mode
• H jumps to the start of line
• L jumps to the end of line
• y copies the selection to the top paste-buffer
• Escape cancels the current operation

It's also possible to preserve the tmux stock bindings by setting the tmux_conf_preserve_stock_bindings variable to true in your .local customization file copy.
