Alt key does not work in tmux.

Hacker's Keyboard : 1.37.1419 (lastest version)
OS                : Android Jellybean 4.1.2
Terminal          : Connectbot 1.7.1

Hi~

I'm using tmux 1.9a.
I binded alt key and ',' and '.' to switch between windows.

# .tmux.conf
bind -n M-, select-window -p   # switch prev a window
bind -n M-. select-window -n   # switch next a window

It seems that Alt key in only hackerskeyboard does not work so I can not move 
to other windows. I tried setting "Alt key code", it wasn't resolved.

Please make sure that "ConnectBot tab key mode" is enabled in 
"application-specific settings". Alt key code doesn't have any effect. 
Connectbot is a very old application that doesn't use standard key events.

Try a plain shell session with no tmux or screen, for me M-, and M-. work as 
expected as an Esc + key sequence:

$ od -c
^[,[^.
0000000 033 , 033 . \n
0000005

I have already enabled "ConnectBot tab key mode".
And Keys seem to work as your expectation.
And I tried installing new terminal programs, the results were all same.

I have a question. Why does the key "Alt + <, >" work very well in Screen?
