Is there some way I can bind ; (\059) to a command in tmux?

By default, it is bound to last-pane; however, I would like to rebind it to select-pane -R.

I have tried putting the following in my .tmux.conf, but none seem to work:

  1. "bind \059 select-pane -R" -> tmux reports "unkown key \059", but after ignoring the warning, ";" sometimes does work as intended.

  2. "bind ; select-pane -R" -> tmux reports "usage: bind-key ..."

  3. "bind ';' select-pane -R" -> tmux reports "usage: bind-key ..."

I'm using the first option now, but I'd like to do it correctly so I don't have a warning appear every time I start tmux.

bind tmux
