+-- <C-h> from the snacks.nvim Explorer can't reach the left tmux pane the way it
+-- does from a normal buffer. The Explorer is a split-layout picker with a hidden
+-- "root" window: vim-tmux-navigator's <C-h> runs `wincmd h`, lands in that root,
+-- and snacks bounces focus back into the editor with `wincmd l`. The window
+-- number changed, so the navigator concludes it moved within Neovim and never
+-- forwards to tmux. (<C-l/j/k> don't pass through the root, so they already work.)

+-- Fix: rebind <C-h> on the picker list buffer to go straight to the left tmux
+-- pane, bypassing the bounced `wincmd h`. This attaches to every picker's list
+-- window, not just the Explorer — but that's harmless: from any list-window left
+-- edge the normal navigator would forward to tmux anyway, so the result matches.
+-- The augroup's clear=true keeps a re-source (`:Lazy reload`) from stacking
+-- duplicate autocmds (and thus duplicate buffer-local maps).
