As the discripion states, I aim to offer a tmux config that makes more sence for me. To use this config copy the tmux.conf to ~/.tmux.conf, and then run tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf Now if you want the tmux config to be a the gobal config, you can copy it to /etc/tmux.conf, and then run sudo tmux source-file /etc/tmux.conf The first change is that Tmux starts at panel 1 instead of panel 0 The second change is changing the prefix keys from CTRL+b to CTRL+a The third change is that instead of using " and % to tile the panels I and - is being used And the forth change is changing copy mode from [ to v, as I think it makes sence when vim uses v for more or less the same function
