^Z because it's otherwise ‘suspend’, so it doesn't conflict with active use of anything else. (Plus ^Z^Z to send ^Z.)

I haven't checked, but if multiplexers don't already use XTMODKEYS to allow more complicated prefixes, they should.

Space for vim.

C-Space for tmux.

Especially with Ctrl bound to Caps-lock.

The tmux default is C-b which hasn't yet conflicted with anything for me (and I am very keyboard oriented). But the other suggestions might be just as good or better.

`C-a a` is so ingrained after years of first screen and then tmux use that I have to consciously not type it when using Emacs outside a multiplexer.

My leader key is the grave key. I’m not a big fan of using a modifier for something that can be done with one key press, so it’s perfect for me.

C-;

It's really C-o but I have that key combo mapped to C-; and capslock -> C when pressed with another key (otherwise defaults to esc)

Pinkies all the way

I use C-^ because yeah, C-a is emacs/readline 101 so I hit that 10s of times a minute.

C-f works best for me
