As we push the limits of tmux further and further you are bound to end up in a situation where you are mashing down a hotkey and it’s just not doing what you want it to do, and you have no idea why.

show-messages is a tmux command that can be used to show what tmux is actually doing behind the scenes. This might highlight any hot key conflicts you might have in your ~/.tmux.conf.
