The prefix key is an essential part of tmux, by default all of tmux’s key-bindings sit behind a prefix. This prefix is very similar to vim’s leader key. It is common for folks to change the default C-b (control b) to C-a or if they are a vim user something to match their vim leader key.

[code]
  set -g prefix C-Space
  bind Space send-prefix

A few of the essential default key-bindings.

[code]
  %      vertical split
  "      horizontal split
  d      detach

  up     select up one pane
  down   select down one pane
  right  select right one pane
  left   select left one pane

  t      clock
  o      swap panes
  c      create window
  n      next window
  p      previous window
