In order to simulate a keystroke, Alacritty uses hex codes, which is simply a combination of characters. For our example, we need to get the hex code values for <ctrl+b> c. We will use xxd to record our keystrokes and dump the hex codes we need. First run the following command (outside of tmux): xxd -psd Then type ctrl+b, c, then press the return key (aka enter). You will see the following data output in your terminal: ^Bc 02630a Press ctrl+c to escape the xxd listener. You now have the hex code 02630a, which stands for ctrl+b c return.
