Thanks for this, just gave tmux a try. Seems fantastic. Tried Version 2.0.

Here are the bindings I went for so that it feels more like screen ( what I am used to ), plus being able to use vi like commands for copy + paste:

  vim ~/.tmux.conf


  setw -g mode-keys vi
  unbind [
  bind Escape copy-mode
  unbind p
  bind p paste-buffer
  bind-key -t vi-copy 'v' begin-selection
  bind-key -t vi-copy 'y' copy-selection
  unbind C-b
  set -g prefix C-a
  bind C-a send-prefix
Split screen vertically

  ctrl+a %
Split screen horizontally

  ctrl+a "
Copy and paste works like...

  ctrl+a escape  - copy mode
  v              - enter visual mode to highlight
  y              - capture text
  ctrl+a p       - paste into terminal
Seems you can use ctrl+a (release) and arrow keys to flip between panes.

Plus ctrl+a left/right to adjust pane size.

Yes, getting the key mappings to your liking is key. There are lots of resources available. One good place to start is the online book The Tao of tmux https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read.

Using copy mode to navigate the scroll buffer is also a useful feature - you can really cut down the use of a mouse in the terminal.
