tmux 1.8 Released
I realise you can rebind them, but both screen and tmux do themselves a disservice by choosing binding keys which overlap with prominent keys in emacs and for users who use emacs mode in their shell.<p>First impressions count.<p>If you want to configure tmux to use just a backtick as the escape, create ~/.tmux.conf<p><pre><code>    unbind C-b
    set -g prefix `
    bind-key ` send-prefix
</code></pre>
When you need to type a backtick just press it twice.<p>For screen, I used to do this:<p><pre><code>    escape ``
</code></pre>
.. in ~/.screenrc, but I've just tried it and it seems that there's now no easy way to type a backtick when you need one.<p>Query: in screen I can switch between two buffers by doing ctrl+a, ctrl+a. This doesn't work in tmux. How do I configure this to work in tmux?
