3. Configure your navigation shortcuts:

# if you're using QWERTY layout
set -g @navigate-left  '-n M-h'
set -g @navigate-down  '-n M-j'
set -g @navigate-up    '-n M-k'
set -g @navigate-right '-n M-l'
set -g @navigate-back  '-n M-\'

# if you're using DVORAK layout
set -g @navigate-back  '-n M-d'
set -g @navigate-left  '-n M-h'
set -g @navigate-up    '-n M-t'
set -g @navigate-down  '-n M-n'
set -g @navigate-right '-n M-s'
