For the same reason (I'm using Ctrl+a in the shell), I'm using Ctrl+q as prefix for tmux. I'm quite surprised that I've never heard of anybody else using this combination.

I'm not sure if you're sarcastic or not, but would you hire a programmer who can't compute "2+3" in his head? The same argument can be made for basic maths operations: we all have …
