I find the whole “Ctrl+b followed by another key” way of navigating tmux to be too cumbersome to warrant a switch away from something like Tilix where I can hit Ctrl+Alt+| and the screen splits vertically, or Alt+Left to switch to the terminal on the left. I think it’s the mandatory release of all keys followed by more keys that does it.
Is there a way to tell tmux to understand that “Alt+Left means switch to the terminal on the left” and bypass the whole Ctrl+b song and dance altogether?
