    [DESKTOP] tmux Prefix Ctrl-B stopped working

    I have been using tmux, with Ctrl-B as shortcut, for a great many many years.

    This has stopped working as of today. Problably since I updated a day ago - but that is a guess.

    If you connect to a server and then connect to the tmux session, and try any commands the terminal just echoes the command letter - the prefix is absorbed SOMEWHERE.

    If you do struggle with this:

    Firstly you can set your prefix to be something else. For example in the tmux session enter the command

    Code:
    tmux set prefix C-a
    tmux will take C-a to mean [Ctrl] + [a] (in stead of the default Ctrl-b). This only changes it for the current client session though.

    You can also use tmux commands for a number of other actions, notably `tmux detach`.

    NOW question time:

    What changed, and how to I change it back? I checked but did not see any new Global shortcuts that grabs Ctrl-B.

    I have Ctrl-B hard coded into my muscle memory. Learning Ctrl-A is a pain!
