vim users may also want to set the "ttyfast" option inside tmux.
+* How do I make ctrl and shift arrow keys work in emacs?
+
+The terminal-init-screen function in term/screen.el is called for new frames,
+but it doesn't configure any function keys.
+
+If the tmux xterm-keys option is on, it is enough to define the same keys as
+xterm. Add the following to init.el or .emacs to do this:
+
+(defadvice terminal-init-screen
+ ;; The advice is named `tmux', and is run before `terminal-init-screen' runs.
+ (before tmux activate)
+ ;; Docstring. This describes the advice and is made available inside emacs;
+ ;; for example when doing C-h f terminal-init-screen RET
+ "Apply xterm keymap, allowing use of keys passed through tmux."
+ ;; This is the elisp code that is run before `terminal-init-screen'.
+ (if (getenv "TMUX")
+ (let ((map (copy-keymap xterm-function-map)))
+ (set-keymap-parent map (keymap-parent input-decode-map))
+ (set-keymap-parent input-decode-map map))))
+
+And ensure .tmux.conf contains "set -g xterm-keys on".
+
+Alternatively, the screen.el file can be copied to the load path and
+customized.
