How to pass command keys to a remote tmux session when you SSH from a local tmux session into a remove tmux session

Question

I would like to use my ssh tmux session inside my development tmux session, but it makes tmux behave bad (keys go to wrong session, etc). Is there a way to do it properly?

Accepted Answer

You can set up ``` bind-key b send-prefix ``` in your `.tmux.conf`. By default all commands go to the outermost tmux session. If you press ``b (``=ctrlb by default) the commands go to the inner session. Here an example: ``` ctrl-b c # create new window in the outer session ctrl-b b c # create new window in the inner session ctrl-b % # create split window in the outer session ctrl-b b % # create split window in the inner session ```
