Change it to C-a then, I use that with tmux, this is what I have in my .tmux.conf for that unbind C-b set -g prefix C-a And if you sometimes nest a tmux in another tmux, say you have your local computer tmux open and you ssh into another box in a tmux window, then attach a remote tmux session to that window, you can send the prefix key to the remote tmux using 'C-a a', this means to tmux 'send C-a to the program inside this window', this is also useful if for some reason you have another program that uses the combination C-a (or C-b for default configuration). > On the PC I cannot use screen because C-a is not > recognized as command prefix. > > I would like to have the choice on both system what terminal > multiplexer to use. > I would say you only need tmux, it is superior, but that is personal choice. > > > What can cause this weird behaviour?
