+# These are "fake" keybindings: we *want* to bind to key combinations
+# that tmux can't actually detect (for one reason or another, but
+# generally because it's not an ASCII-represented key chord). Instead
+# we bind the commands to arbitrary codes that we probably won't want
+# to actually press, and then configure the terminal editor (i.e. see
+# kitty.conf) to actually pass the relevant keys along.
+#
+# Technically this also means we can customize the effective bindings
+# per terminal emulator.
