keyboard shortcuts
I haven't had time to differentiate between when tmux or screen is used here. I've just continued to add this page over time without considering when I'm using screen or tmux and whether or not I have the function keys disabled for whatever reason. Some may not work due to some specific configuration idiosyncrasy with your distribution or the package. Some keybindings are definitely deprecated or no longer valid, but I've kept them here because I haven't been able to check against the "official" version yet. Use at your discretion.
Basic
F2 or Ctrl + a + c - Create a new session
F3 or Ctrl + a + a - Go back to the previous session
F4 or Ctrl + a + n - Go to the next session
F7 or Ctrl + a + [ - Scrollback/search mode (Press Enter to exit)
F8 or Ctrl + a + A - Rename the screen
F9 or Ctrl + a + @ - Configuration menu
Utility

F6 or Ctrl + a + d - Detach from the session and logout
Ctrl + a <0-9> - Switch to screen #0-9 (quick toggle)
Ctrl + a " - View a list of the current screens, which will allow you to select one from the list
Ctrl + a \ - Kill all of the sessions and terminate
Ctrl + a ~ - Copy buffer into an editor
Split window management
