Ctrl-h/j/k/l pane navigation in tmux conflicts with Atuin

[szcharlesji]

What did you expect to happen?

I used to use fzf to navigate which did not have this problem. When the active pane is running the Atuin, hitting Ctrl-h/j/k/l should move the cursor inside atuin, not switch tmux panes.

What happened?

I’m using vim-tmux-navigator to move between tmux panes with Ctrl-h/j/k/l.
