Tmux is such a fantastic tool - its made a big difference to my work - thank you and congrats to the authors.
Couldn't agree more. Switching and committing to tmux (and wemux for pairing) has helped immensely.

#32I can't recommend Pragmatic Bookshelf's book on tmux enough: http://pragprog.com/book/bhtmux/tmux It's got the whole thing covered end-to-end if you ever wanted to get around learning it.
Author of that book here. Thank you for the kind words.
Another reader here. Your book demystified tmux for me. Thank you.

Reader of that book, you finally got me to kick my screen habit with it and now I have a new tmux addiction. That said, tmux is way easier to use compared to screen. And with 1.8 and text reflow it pretty much has every feature from screen I ever wanted/needed/used.
I also love the new zoom pane that comes with 1.8 prefix . It comes very handy!

Another reader here. That book was enormously helpful for me, thanks!
Re: My tmux setup
#35One of things I've been meaning to ask: do people who use tmux mostly run a windows machine as their desktop?
Nope I use it almost exclusively in Linux.

#36>But the years of using screen have ingrained in my muscle memory to use ctrl-a I still don't understand how this happened to so many people. Ctrl+a is already taken, how did anyone ever use screen without immediately changing it to something that doesn't conflict with a frequently used shell shortcut?
The only thing ctrl-A is used for by me besides screen (or rather, tmux after I remapped it), is incrementing a number in vim. Not really a big deal.
Most people I know use it to go to the beginning of a line in programs that use readline, which includes the shell as well as most programming language interpreters.

#37The last tip on naming windows after remote hosts is nice! Now it'd be nice if we could run similar to ssh's LocalCommand on exit too. Turned out that I'm not the first to ask this: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/40899/ssh-localcomma...
With workaround too.
The downside is that if go like ssh A then ssh B, display doesn't update. But I don't this too often anyway.

You map CTRL+A x2 to send CTRL+A to the shell, and it works.

I'll take every opportunity to just praise you good sir, and gush over your wonderful book. Because it is indeed a wonderful book. It sits happily on my shelf.
Re: My tmux setup
#40I've used tmux so much in the past... so much that the only thing that my OS would do is run tmux ;-) So I've decided to use a different window manager: StumpWM. So, in a nutshell, all my window manager is now a big tmux - and I run browsers fullscreen in some screens. That's the best coding setup I've ever had.
