## rebind the split commands to something more intuitive

## Hitting 'A' top ren(A)me windows is just muscle memory from screen
## No need to fight it.
unbind ,
bind-key          A command-prompt -I "#W" 'rename-window %%'

## Hitting '$' is completely context-less. How about 'S' for 'rename-(S)ession'
## This also has the nice feature of being the inverse of 's' 'choose-(s)ession'
unbind '$'
bind-key          S command-prompt -I "" 'rename-session %%'

## Hitting 'q' to see the pane numbers is context-less. How about '#'
unbind 'q'
bind-key '#' display-panes
## 'Hit 'j' to (J)ump to a given pane no
bind-key          j command-prompt -I "" 'select-pane -t  %%'
## Elite short-cut. Since your had is probably just on top of '#' to get
## the pane id. set '3' to change it as well.
bind-key          3 command-prompt -I "" 'select-pane -t  %%'

## Here we do our best to accomdate screen users accustomed esc-tab navigating windows
bind-key          tab  select-pane -t :.-

## Arrow keys can be used in two manners. 
## In the first case we use them exclusively to naviate panes.
## We do this by using the (currently) undocumented ':' target for select-pane
## which conveniently refers to the one with the current focus..
#bind-key          up    select-pane -U -t :
#bind-key          down  select-pane -D -t :
#bind-key          left  select-pane -L -t :
#bind-key          right select-pane -R -t :
##While the previous setup is very intuitive, realistically we dont need to navigate through
##panes with that much directional precision.

##It turns out that it is more effiecent to just use up/down to go to next/prev panes
##while freeing up left/right for windows..This lets you quickly go through all the panes
##without having to navigate the directional carefulle.
## we map these left left/right
bind-key left  previous-window 
bind-key right next-window 
bind-key up   select-pane -t :.-
bind-key down   select-pane -t :.+

##Resizing panes is handy sometimes.
bind-key -r   '<'   resize-pane -D 5
bind-key -r   '>'   resize-pane -U 5
##Its a strech, but think of the slashes pointing the way the window should grow
bind-key -r   '/'   resize-pane -R 5
bind-key -r   "\\"   resize-pane -L 5
