Anybody know if it's possible to move between terminal windows (panes in tmux lingo) "clockwise" and "anti-clockwise"?

Ctrl+b and then arrow keys will get you switching in all directions.

My favorite "resize-pane learnt '-Z' for zooming a pane temporarily."

Should i finally switch from screens to tmux?

After mastering screen, I switched to tmux. It's a lot easier to configure. It's also a lot nicer to split panes etc...

Definitely recommend the switch. You might be dreading it, but two days into tmux you won't regret it. It took many weeks trying to convince myself screen is better until I actually tried tmux out.

What is the simplest way to install tmux 1.8 on Ubuntu 12.04?? Running `sudo apt-get install tmux` puts tmux 1.6 on my system...

Any PPAs?

I want to like tmux, I really do, but my main gripes are scrolling in panes with the scroll wheel and selecting / copy/pasting text. iTerm (osx) or Terminator (linux) handle that much better, although I admit they can't really be compared technology-wise.

Alternatively, I never figured out how to select / copy text just as fast in tmux / vim / etc as with the mouse.

tmux status bars are customizable(no surprises there I guess) and the powerline is one of the nicer status bar arrangements - https://github.com/erikw/tmux-powerline

Shouldn't you be using checkinstall instead of 'make install' to make removal of the package easier in the future?

Not if you do local installs. You can remove the package simply by:

    rm -rf ~/installs/tmux-1.8

A simple `tar -xvf` can replace the separate `gunzip` and `tar` processes.

Do you mean `tar -xzvf`?

Is there any compelling reason to use tmux if you're already using a tiling window manager?

i've switched from tmux to screen to byobu ( which is a wrapper for screen ) because of its simplicity. screen also has very little problems, with tmux i always had time costly issues.
