How do I go to the last line where I entered text in tmux?

I often use tmux to scroll through error messages for various reasons.

Usually I use the ninja command to build my projects so when I hit compilation errors ctrl+b [ ninja quickly takes me back to where I ran the command.

However, today I started using make because, for various reasons, I couldn't use ninja. Because the string make appears multiple times in my build errors, this little trick no longer works.

So how can I get tmux to take me back to the last line on which I entered text (or where I last pressed return)?

[add something specific in your shell prompt like some special character](http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/210291) – Stéphane Chazelas Aug 28 '15 at 14:03
@StéphaneChazelas great idea, thanks! If you post this as the answer I'll mark it. – quant Aug 29 '15 at 07:01
I've given a `screen` answer over there, I'll let you give the `tmux` one here. I'm not familiar with `tmux` having been a `screen` user for decades. – Stéphane Chazelas Aug 29 '15 at 09:05
