keyboard shortcuts - Use forward slash as a key command in tmux

In tmux, is it possible to bind forward slash to a command? The command I want to create is below:



bind-key -nr C-M-/ kill-window \; next-window


This config errors with: /home/joe/.tmux.conf:42: unknown key: C-M-/



The command works if I use a letter instead of a forward slash. I want to use forward slash to mirror my emacs config.




Update:
Doesn't look like it's possible. According to the man page, only certain keys are white-listed. The relevant section from the man page:




Key Bindings



tmux allows a command to be bound to most keys, with or without a
prefix key. When specifying keys, most represent themselves (for
example ‘A’ to ‘Z’). Ctrl keys may be prefixed with ‘C-’ or ‘^’, and

Alt (meta) with ‘M-’. In addition, the following special key names are
accepted: Up, Down, Left, Right, BSpace, BTab, DC (Delete), End,
Enter, Escape, F1 to F20, Home, IC (Insert), NPage (Page Up), PPage
(Page Down), Space, and Tab. Note that to bind the ‘"’ or ‘’’ keys,
quotation marks are necessary, for example:
