  • I'm not 100% sure, but if you press ^b (CTLR + B) - to enter tmux "mode", then the bind-key. For example, ^b followed by v should be the first option on the list. I'm not sure if ^V is CTLR+V or CTLR+SHIFT+V. Commented Dec 1, 2016 at 5:07

  • ^a (or CTLR+A) was the mode key combo for screen, which is a similar but older program to tmux. I guess someone liked the old screen key combo. Commented Dec 1, 2016 at 5:13
