Since you're using zsh, my guess is that this is not a tmux problem at all. I bet your $EDITOR or your $VISUAL looks like "vi" (like "vim" or similar). Then zsh chooses its default line editor mode to be "vi" instead of "emacs". Those inverted '^A' strings you're seeing (in your screenshot for example) are zsh's way to insert special characters, that are not bound to any actions (C-a, C-e etc are not bound by default in vi-mode by default). Since you clearly want emacs mode in zsh's line editor, put this into your zsh setup before you do any other keyboard setup: bindkey -e That will force emacs mode in zsh's line editor.
