Fix for: tmux disregarding the configuration file
The file ~/.tmux.conf is loaded when the tmux server is first started. So if there are existing tmux sessions, starting a new session with does not result in reloading the .tmux.conf file. Try restarting tmux server: Use the command to see if there are existing sessions. Exit them (e.g. then kill all windows and exit). Once all sessions are gone, try again. This time the rebinding should work.
