@DanielQue: A shell environment variable. It will need to be exported or placed in tmux's envrionment like this: VISUAL=vi tmux

Thanks, I got it to work with set-window-option -g mode-keys vi in my .tmux.conf. But I was curious about the environment variable alternative and couldn't get it to work. Is it a shell environment variable, or a tmux environment variable that has to be set in the conf file?

@DanielQue: Take a look at the tmux man page and search for "mode-keys" and "status-keys". Those are sub-commands that allow you to set the binding style. Alternately, it might be simpler to set an environment variable (EDITOR or VISUAL) to the style you want before starting tmux.
