Tmux commands doesn't work
You have changed the default escape-sequence in your configuration: from Ctrl-B
(tmux default) to Ctrl-A
(just like the similar terminal multiplexer screen
).
The relevant configuration lines are in the third paragraph:
# unbind default prefix and set it to Ctrl+a
unbind C-b
set -g prefix C-a
bind C-a send-prefix
If you want to use tmux default one just comment out (with a leading #
) or remove the lines above in your tmux.conf
.
