Not going to lie: when I discovered that `^` means _control_ and that `^]` means _control-]_, I suddenly started making sense of a ton of manpages^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdocumentation.

Then the `tmux` dude goes on and uses `C` instead of `^` [0]. God that was hard to figure out. But it gets worse: he continues to describe it as `C` even when he's not actually meaning _control_. No, that's just the _default_. He actually means `C` to mean whatever was bound to the configured "meta control". Uhh, at least, that's my understanding of it right now.

Tmux author (if you read this): I still haven't figured out why your software can't redraw lines. I'm continuously seeing garbled nonsense on the session from software clearing a line but tmux not actually clearing that line. `htop` works and looks great outside of tmux but inside of it? Oh god I can't read anything at all because it's all garbled.

But yeah, after learning that `^` means "press control", getting out of Telnet was eas....oh man I'm stuck in telnet stil.. Halp
