As we push the limits of tmux further and further you are bound to end up in a
situation where you are mashing down a hotkey and it's just not doing what you
want it to do, and you have no idea why.
show-messages
is a tmux command that can be used to show what tmux is
actually doing behind the scenes. This might highlight any hot key conflicts
you might have in your ~/.tmux.conf
.
