binding thumbs-key to semicolon doesn't work

[vbauerster]

I cannot bind thumbs-key to semicolon.
Tried both set -g @thumbs-key \; and set -g @thumbs-key ';'.

❯ tmux -V
tmux 3.2a
❯ tmux show -g @thumbs-key
@thumbs-key \;

I have been investigating and it looks like a malfunctioning between tmux and bash escaping. The only workaround I found was to add to your .tmux.conf this after loading tmux-thumbs plugin:

bind-key \; thumbs-pick

It is the only solution I can give you while we understand what is going on in this escaping mess.

Let me know if it works.

Closing it. Feel free to reopen it if the proposed solution doesn't work
