How can I bind a key to cycle through panes?

I've got a few tmux key bindings like this, which allow me to switch windows without using the mouse

bind -n M-Left select-pane -L    ## move left one pane

How can I bind a single key that can cycle through the panes on the screen (similar to how ALT+TAB works)?

With default keybindings:

Ctrl+b n

will flip thru to the next window, same way alt-tab works for windowed applications.

Ctrl+b o

Should flip through the panes within the window.

For instance, you could use bind-key -n M-Up next-window to cycle through windows, 1 at a time by pressing Meta+CursorUp (Alt+CursorUp on most systems).
