On: Getting started with Tmux

[barrkel]

Emacs works perfectly well for me inside screen, but not inside tmux. In tmux, many of the extended keys aren't quite right.

I run urxvt.

I also have custom fixes for rxvt that I've built up over the years, both a custom terminfo file, and fixes for emacs' terminal mapping.

I'm willing to bet your "inherent incompatibility" is a terminfo or similar terminal code interpretation problem.

I also run screen emacs and urxvt. For what it's worth I choose screen over tmux mostly because I've worked fairly hard at keeping most of my stack gpl.
