Not really something I would dare to try when I just want to compare awesome to stumpwm for a while. > However, it's not possible in the sense of "AFAIK no one wrote and > published > something that would make this easier". Thats basically a 'you can't' then, leaving only two options: 1. Two completely different sets of key combinations for tmux and awesome with all the guaranteed confusion. 2. Adapt tmux bindings to awesome bindings (use Mod4 as prefix) ... and relearn muscle memory from scratch. Option 2 looks better, but still not very attractive, to me. However, thanks for your answer. -- cheers, Thorsten -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-unsubscr...@naquadah.org.
