tmux bind-key

tmux bind-key [-nr] [-T key-table] [-N note] key [command [argument ...]]

Bind key key to command. Keys are bound in a key table. By default (without -T), the key is bound in the prefix key table. This table is used for keys pressed after the prefix key (for example, by default ‘c’ is bound to new-window in the prefix table, so ‘C-b c’ creates a new window). The root table is used for keys pressed without the prefix key: binding ‘c’ to new-window in the root table (not recommended) means a plain ‘c’ will create a new window. -n is an alias for -T root. Keys may also be bound in custom key tables and the switch-client -T command used to switch to them from a key binding. The -r flag indicates this key may repeat, see the initial-repeat-time and repeat-time options. -N attaches a note to the key (shown with list-keys -N), which can be cleared by passing an empty string. The -r and -N flags can be used without command to alter an existing binding.

To view the default bindings and possible commands, see the list-keys command.
