How to bind “Ctrl-Alt-b” as the prefix of tmux

emacskeyboard shortcutstmux

Tmux uses Ctrlb as its prefix, but Ctrlb conflict with Emacs.

I want to bind CtrlAltb to tmux's prefix. I guess it may be C-M-b but didn't work…

Best Answer

M-C-b works for me. Outside tmux, check what sequence of characters is sent upon pressing Ctrl-Alt-b. If it's Esc, ^B (0x1b, 0x2), then that should work.
