How can I scroll tmux with all these keys:
<C-y> one line up
<C-e> one line down
<C-u> half a page up
<C-d> half a page down
<C-b> page up
<C-f> page down
k one line up
j one line down
/ search forward
? search back
n next search result
N previous search result
And with number-prepended versions of these, e.g. 10k for 10 lines up.
These controls work in vi and most pagers, like more and less.
How can I scroll tmux history with these familiar controls?
All of these keys are already supported by default by tmux's vi keybindings. Make sure copy mode is using vi keys by adding to your ~/.tmux.conf a line like
set-window-option -g mode-keys vi
