I prefer "jstar", but it breaks inside "tmux", some commands collide.

 
Isn’t tmux like screen, in that all the commands are keyed off a single
prefix key?

 

In screen, I set that prefix key to CTRL/Z. This is normally the key
recognized by the terminal driver for job control. But it’s not needed,
when you have a multiplexer app like screen doing the job control.

 
Most start with ^B. I'm not familiar with screen, though. I have trouble
it ^K^B..^K^K to mark a block of text. I don't remember what happens,
maybe the ^B in ^K^B is intercepted.

Of course, I have also removed the default definition of CTRL/Z in Emacs
(suspend-frame), because I have no need for that function, so that
wouldn’t cause a clash anyway.

I use the backtick in tmux. And the bash construct $() instead of the back
tick.
