following the suggestion in this Archlinux wiki, in the page about tmux I remapped the command key prefix to C-a, to mimic GNU screen and to have something easier on the keyboard than C-b. So my .tmux.conf became this:
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color" unbind C-b set -g prefix C-a set-window-option -g mode-keys vi bind h select-pane -L bind j select-pane -D bind k select-pane -U bind l select-pane -R However, while in screen it was possible to use C-a a to jump to the beginning of line, this does not work any more in tmux. As a sidenote, I'm using iTerm2 without the tmux integration.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
Thanks!

ctrl-b, <arrow key> switch to the pane in whichever direction you press. ctrl-b, d. detach from tmux, leaving everything running in the background.
KEY BINDINGS. tmux may be controlled from an attached client by using a key combination of a prefix key, 'C-b' (Ctrl-b) by default, followed by a command key. The default command key bindings are: C-b Send the prefix key (C-b) through to the application. C-o Rotate the panes in the current window forwards.
You need to tell tmux that Prefix+a should send the prefix key to the program running in the current pane:
