I've wanted to be able to define a user commands. Something like:

bind-command: run-shell "some complicated shell script using tmux"

There are a couple of benefits I see:

* Like most of the CLI keyboard driven tools, the number of "claimed"
key shortcuts quickly grows to the point where finding available keys
is non-trivial

* A user command is often easier to commit to memory, as the name is
usually chosen for it's intelligibility rather then for it's
availability

* User commands dramatically open up the namespace, which in turn
allows more easy experimentation. It's easy to add an ad-hoc command
without fear of stepping on existing control key mappings. The
intelligibility above also factors in here. An easier to remember
command is more likely to be recalled at some later point.
