Awesome!

PCKeyboardhack has been renamed. In Yosemite press command+space sail
KeyRemap4MacBook has been renamed to Karabiner. command+space karabiner
Thanks for this awesome tip

Thanks! If instead of replacing your private.xml you just add

    <item>
      <name>TMUX: Right Control to Ctrl+B</name>
      <appendix>TMUX Key Remappings</appendix>
      <identifier>private.right_control_to_control_b</identifier>
      <autogen>
        --KeyToKey-- 
        KeyCode::CONTROL_R,
        KeyCode::B, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L
      </autogen>
    </item>

to your existing private.xml, then it also works in iTerm.

Seil is the new name for PCKeyboardHack (not Sail)

And Karabiner is the new name for KeyRemap4MacBook

This seems to be broken in mac Sierra. Any workarounds?
