To me tmux, like a lot of tools, suffers from bad defaults that makes it less enjoyable to use. One example is not being able to scroll with a mouse. I usually find someone's tmux.conf online and use it, but always run into strange problems that I don't have the energy figuring out. My current conf suffers from the navigation bar going completely black when I try to rename a pane (can't see what i'm typing).

Really wish more tools took care into making solid defaults and not assuming all users are like the ones on their mailing lists.

I guess bad defaults have been chosen to maintain stability for previous users. IMHO, man pages should contain a .tmux.conf that demonstrate the "best" usage(s) of the tool.

IMHO man is the most important command in unix and "man man" the first step in learning unix.

IMHO man is one of the worst things in Unix. Generally I find that tldr https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr or bro http://bropages.org/ are far more efficient.
