I'm beginning to like it less that T383838tmux will wrap around when you hit the last pane in some direction when switching panes. I found a \[stack exchange answer\] for a related issue that inspired the following configuration change:

bind h if -F '#{paneatleft}' '' 'select-pane -L'

bind j if -F '#{paneatbottom}' '' 'select-pane -D'

bind k if -F '#{paneattop}' '' 'select-pane -U'

bind l if -F '#{paneatright}' '' 'select-pane -R'

Binds T383838hjkl and to move in the corresponding vim direction, but it does nothing if sitting on that particular screen edge.

It's a small thing, but lessens cognitive load when I'm too focused on some logic about the task at hand and not looking to see which pane I start in or land in when I'm trying to get things done.
