<code>F9</code> - Configuration menu
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  Some keybindings are definitely deprecated or no longer valid, but I've kept them here because I haven't been able to check against the "official" version yet.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.
