i suggest new commer give byobu a try, a wrapper of tmux.
its actually a wrapper for screen as also for tmux, the standard ubuntu package uses screen.
byobu is really recommended because its simple to use yet powerfull.

#82What 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...
pushd /tmp && \ wget 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tmux/tmux/tmux-1.8/tmux-1.8.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Ftmux.sourceforge.net%2F&ts=1364579710&use_mirror=garr' && \ gunzip
instead of make install, consider checkinstall or fpm so that you are properly integrated into ubuntu's native package manager (dpkg). Doing so will save you headaches when you want to uninstall tmux or upgrade later.

#86For what it's worth, here is my carefully crafted ~/.tmux.conf file. I was used to screen, so I carried most of the keybindings along when I switched to tmux.

#87Does anyone know where to find a good introduction to tmux?
I attempted to start using it a couple of weekends ago but wasn't able to find any good documentation with my google-fu.
Re: tmux 1.8 Released
#88I 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. First impressions count. If you want to configure tmux to use just a backtick as the escape, create ~/.tmux.conf unbind C-b set -g prefix ` bind-key ` send-prefix When you need to type a backtick just press it twice. For…
I use ` as the prefix, so you might take a look at my tmux.conf[1] if you want help transitioning. [1] http://pastebin.com/g6frvnnr

#89Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's not quite what I'm after. I guess it's hard for non-screen people to know what I'm talking about from my vague description above :) Here's a scenario to show what I mean: you're in buffer 5. You switch to buffer 2. Now if you do ctrl+a, ctrl+a, you leap back to buffer 5. And if you do it again, you go back to buffer 2. This is great when you're editing code in one session and running it in the other.
I use that screen behaviour for panes: bind C-a last-pane but last-window exists too.
Is there a way to set it up to do this if you hit (escape-key) (current buffer index)? That's the way weechat works, and I keep expecting it to work in tmux as well :/

Yes, you definitely should, just make sure to plop this into your .tmux.conf unbind C-b set -g prefix C-a
No, don't. C-b is a much better shortcut than C-a.
I recommend the backtick: `
The only two pains that come with it are a) having to type `` to get a single `, and b) pasting anything containing a backtick behaves as if you'd typed it out.
