+
+  .. warning::
+    Both tmux and screen are not resending sequences escaped in such a way. Thus 
+    even though additional escaping will work for the last shown prompt, 
+    highlighting will eventually go away when tmux or screen will redraw screen 
+    for some reason.
+
+    E.g. in screen it will go away when you used copy mode and prompt got out of 
+    screen and in tmux it will go away immediately after you press ``<Enter>``.
+
+In tmux there is a green bar in place of powerline
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+In order for tmux bindings to work ``powerline-config`` script is required to be 
+present in ``$PATH``. Alternatively one may define ``$POWERLINE_CONFIG_COMMAND`` 
+environment variable pointing to the location of the script. *This variable must 
+be defined prior to launching tmux server and in the environment where server is 
+started from.*
+
 Shell issues
 ============
 
+When sourcing shell bindings it complains about missing command or file
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If you are using ``pip`` based installation do not forget to add pip-specific 
+executable path to ``$PATH`` environment variable. This path usually looks 
+something like ``$HOME/.local/bin`` (linux) or 
+``$HOME/Library/Python/{python_version}/bin`` (OS X). One may check out where 
+``powerline-config`` script was installed by using ``pip show -f 
+powerline-status | grep powerline-config`` (does not always work).
