I'm getting a bit more into #tmux lately after a few years as a casual user.
I've been using windows a lot more and renaming them so I can find them again (previously I just had one window with a million panes).
I'm using the tmux copy/paste buffer which is way better than trying to copy/paste text via xterm or xfce4-terminal.
I finally figured out what *M means, apparently it's when I hit the wrong key combo going to the next window and mark a pane instead.
Today I entered hard mode without a cursor-capable terminal. Why? Well, it's complicated, but the short answer is that I have use Guacamole (RDP/SSH in a web browser) with RDP on one screen and SSH on the other. I don't think I could have taken the plunge a few years ago but it feels comfortable now, like vim.
