Behavior

Mouse support is enabled.
Vi keys are used in copy mode.
Splits inherit the current pane working directory.
Alt + arrows resize panes by 3 cells without requiring the prefix.
Prefix + Ctrl + arrows select panes, preventing accidental resizing when Ctrl remains pressed.
True-color terminal overrides are enabled for xterm-256color.
The status line is centered and intentionally compact.
