I'm trying to set the following keybindings to get similar pane navigation as vim. I tried the following in my tmux.conf file, but it ends up just making it so I can't use hjkl at all (even when just normally trying to type on the command line).
bind h select-pane -L
bind j select-pane -D
bind k select-pane -U
bind l select-pane -R

Anyone know what I might be doing wrong? I'm in iTerm2 ssh'ing into a Ubuntu box in case that's of any relevance.
Turns out I was making a rookie mistake and just needed to restart the tmux server.
1 - Added to .tmux.conf
bind h select-pane -L
bind j select-pane -D
bind k select-pane -U
bind l select-pane -R
2 - created a new tmux session > tmux new -s test
3 - sourced the .tmux-conf > source .tmux.conf.
This is apparently a very wrong way to do things and resulted in the really odd behavior I described in my question where I couldn't use those keys at all.
1 - Added to .tmux.conf
bind h select-pane -L
bind j select-pane -D
bind k select-pane -U
bind l select-pane -R
2 - > tmux kill-server
3 - > tmux new -s test
