When I type ctrl + b (I keep them pressed) and then I press the c button, nothing happens. There are no combinations of ctrl + b commands. Only these two commands are executed:
tmux new-session -s {session-name} tmux kill-session -t {session-name}
Also I cannot create a new nested session. How to create a new session. Are there ways to use tmux, like vim. E.g. press esc for normal / command mode, press i for insert mode and v for visual mode. I ask this question because I doubt that I need to press a key before giving key commands such as ctrl + b + n. They are simply written as plain text in the terminal.
Characters are entered into the terminal. See screenshot below. I use all my tmux, zsh, vim configurations from here
Please check the tmux.config file
