+# This configuration file binds many vi- and vim-like bindings to the
+# appropriate tmux key bindings.  Note that for many key bindings there is no
+# tmux analogue.

+# split windows like vim
+# vim's definition of a horizontal/vertical split is reversed from tmux's
+bind s split-window -v
+bind v split-window -h
+
+# move around panes with j and k, a bit like vim
+# as of tmux 1.1, there is no way to move based on pane position (ie, no way to
+# move the pane to the right)
+bind j down-pane
+bind k up-pane
+
+# resize panes like vim
+# feel free to change the "1" to however many lines you want to resize by, only
+# one at a time can be slow
+bind < resize-pane -L 1
+bind > resize-pane -R 1
+bind - resize-pane -D 1
+bind + resize-pane -U 1

+# bind : to command-prompt like vim
