I have been using Vim + i3wm for years and have never felt the need to overwrite keybindings; what behaviour would you like to achieve?

I haven't had any problems with vim and i3. i3 behaves sanely. It's adding tmux between them that is muddying the waters.

okay. From what I understand there's significant overlap between i3 and tmux - why do you need both?

detaching and reattaching sessions.

maybe the dtach utility would be helpful.

It's basically just the detach / attach functionality of tmux or screen, without any of the window/frame handling functionality.

(often paired with dvtm but will also work for other setups)
