mac os x byobu vertical split using iTerm, tmux, zsh

Question

How to get vertical split on Mac OS X in byobu?

Ctrl + F2 is not working. It open new window instead of spliting the current.

In oposite spliting horizontaly with shift + F2 works ok.

You can use screen escape key to do that:

Ctrl + A and then % for vertical split or | for horizontal split.

For whole list: Ctrl + A and after that ?.

Ctrl + F2 is associated to Mac shortcut 'Move focus to the menu bar'. That might be why it is not working for you.

You can also use shift + the arrow keys.

left and right for vertical splits, and
up and down for horizontal splits.

Reported this issue on tmux repo and they have helped me to found a pretty slick fix. Click on Settings -> Profiles -> Keys -> Key mappings -> presets... -> xTerm Defaults and click on Keep.

Also click on Keep if this appears

THANKS A LOT @nicm at github
