The bulk of the code is for making tmux key-bindings like those of GNU Screen (up until the seprator line). Most of that code is copied from the sample config file that came with the Arch package (in /usr/share/tmux/screen-keys.conf). The rest adds these functionalities:
- Enable 256 color support.
- Add a key-binding for toggling status line visibility.
- Add a pair of key-bindings for screen style splitting. In screen, when you split a window, two windows are created and each can be rotated so that it contains one of the previously created windows. In tmux, splitting results in creating two "panes". A window can contain several panes. This is usually desirable (with this config, accessible through the use of prefix+| and prefix+% shortcuts). However, sometimes you might want to split the window so that the new pane contains one of the previously created windows. The last two lines add the prefix+H and prefix+V key-bindings that make this possible (one for splitting vertically, the other horizontally). The new pane will contain the window before the current one.
