tmux prefix

The prefix key is an essential part of tmux, by default all of tmux's
key-bindings sit behind a prefix. This prefix is very similar to vim's leader
key. It is common for folks to change the default C-b (control b) to C-a or
if they are a vim user something to match their vim leader key.

set -g prefix C-Spacebind Space send-prefix
