I’ve now been on tmux for quite a few months since migrating from screen.
aterm + tmux + zsh + vim makes a super command-line combination.
But there can be certain issues with the key bindings with vim. Since moving to tmux I’ve avoided using vim tabs since I couldn’t figure out the right key bindings to switch them using C-PgUp and C-PgDn when in tmux. But today with a little help on #tmux and kerneltrap I finally got things working. So here are my .tmux and .vimrc files for posterity.
