> then looks for a user configuration file at ~/.tmux.conf [...] or ~/.tmux.conf

If the tmux devs are confused then it looks like a perfect example of why we need a standard for `.config` or similar. I have proposed something similar in the past for code repositories to remove the config file clutter to a subdirectory, but it's hard to gain traction.

A standard wouldn't fix mistakes in the manpage. What is your proposal?


I took the message to be is that your home directory doesn't actually belong to you and you should store most of your work elsewhere on the system.

Now I just have a `/work` folder and I don't have to care what applications want to do with their configurations.


This looks like a careless mistake to me, not really a fundamental confusion :-)
