I don't change any of the key bindings in my config :-). Well, except
the prefix key.

We could change some of the more obscure key bindings, but for ones like
this there would need to be an exceptionally good reason.

These are no better anyway - would | or \ be a vertical split because it
matches the orientation of the panes or would it be horizontal because
it matches the border line? There is no point in being more obvious to
half of users if it is less obvious to the other half.

h and v would make more sense perhaps. But nobody can even agree which
way is horizontal and which vertical. And loads of people bind hjkl to
move around panes anyway.

Using 2 and 3 would be nice to match emacs (like the o binding comes
from), but I think selecting window 2 and 3 is a better use.
