I've always found screen's ctrl-a is so much easier to reach for than tmux's ctrl-b. I recommend re-mapping ctrl-b to ctrl-a

I never really understood the people who use these keybinds. Do you not use it to go to the start of the line?
Ctrl-a and then a still goes to the start of the line.
Personally no, I use vim keybindings in the terminal not emacs which is the default.
I've had it on C-o forever to mostly stay out of readline's way, but I've been dabbling with C-Space.
I use Ctrl-Space.
I find it a lot easier to type than either Ctrl-A or Ctrl-B.
The real superpower prefix key is ` especially if you have a british mac keyboard.
Both C-a and C-b are so commonly used that I don’t like either of them. I ended up going with C-\ since I only rarely use that one.
I just remapped the keys to ctrl-z after I swapped ctrl and caps lock. As you'd never suspend stuff under tmux for obvious reasons, you'll get the whole keyset for any cli/tui software.
I'll bite. What's so obvious? I suspend jobs in bash all the time while using tmux.
Often TMUX it's for tasks you woudn't suspend. And, if any, you can just use kill -STOP and kill -CONT among other signals from another tmux pane.
