Whenever I use tmux split-window -h/v, it creates the new split to the right/bottom, respectively. I want a command that creates the new split on the other side (i.e., to the left/top), but I can't find any simple answer for this anywhere... How can I bind this behavior into a shortcut?

What happens by default:

 _______                         _______
|       |                       |   |   |
|   *   | == split-window -h => |   | * |
|       |                       |   |   |
 -------                         -------

What I want a shortcut for:

 _______                         _______
|       |                       |   |   |
|   *   | ==        ?        => | * |   |
|       |                       |   |   |
 -------                         -------

As above, but remember, tmux has a problem if you run it from PuTTY or from virtual machine. It works properly, but there's sometimes a problem with create, switching and resize panes due to lack of keys recognition.
