Yes one key - use eg "bind -n C-p select-pane -t :.+".
Scroll lock will only work if it generates a key sequence on your
terminal, most don't. Find out if it does by doing "cat" outside tmux
and pressing the key to see what it shows.
gpm support is possible but I'm told its a bit of a horlicks and I don't
use it so I'm not planning to write the code. If someone else does
though...
