# Sometimes (like on line 65) it would be natural
# to remap a key to make tmux more vimlike. But
# there is already a sensible default in the way,
# so I've noted the idea behind a # and noted the
# better idea that's in the way, even though that
# redundantly reconfigures TMUX to its default, again.
#
# This way if you decide you would rather bind l to →,
# you won't forget what it originally meant. (Just
# switch which option is commented.)
