Problem

Is it possible to bind a tmux command to a key combination and use it directly without first pressing the prefix? I find too cumbersome to switch panes, so I was wondering whether I could bind for example, to switch to pane #1. Or perhaps there may be a way to make the shortcut in the terminal emulator to send when I press ? Thanks!
