tmux key bindings don't work the same on mac vs linux
I have the following in my Tmux.conf:
30 # switch panes using Alt-arrow without prefix
31 bind -n M-Left select-pane -L
32 bind -n M-Right select-pane -R
33 bind -n M-Up select-pane -U
34 bind -n M-Down select-pane -D
On my mac, this seems to bind to the "option" key, and all four arrows work. However, on Arch Linux, this does not seem to bind to the option key. I was able to get C-Left etc to work on Linux, which seems to bind to the "control" key.
How can I bind to the option key on linux?
