For some unknown reason in Tmux the 'Tab' key clears the pane I'm in, which is annoying when I use 'Tab' to indent in Neovim and 'Shift Tab' to unindent.
Is there a way to fix this (stop 'Tab' clearing my panes and work as intended)
I've tested this in the default Mac terminal and iterm2, and it happens in both.
Outside of Tmux the 'Tab' key works fine in both terminals, indenting 4 or so spaces.
Also, I have C-i mapped to clear a pane usually.
Here is my .tmux.conf for reference:
set -g default-terminal 'screen-256color'
set -g prefix C-a
unbind C-b
bind-key C-a send-prefix
unbind %
bind | split-window -h
unbind '"'
bind - split-window -v
unbind r
bind r source-file ~/.tmux.conf
bind -r j resize-pane -D 5
bind -r k resize-pane -U 5
bind -r l resize-pane -R 5
bind -r h resize pane -L 5
bind -r m resize-pane -Z
set -g mouse on
set-window-option -g mode-keys vi
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi 'v' send -X begin-selection
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi 'y' send -X copy-selection
unbind -T copy-mode-vi MouseDragEnd1Pane
bind C-i send-keys -R \; send-keys C-l \; clear-history
set -sg escape-time 10
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'

For most terminal apps Tab and Ctrl-i are the same. They both get the char with ASCII code 0x09.
