Because of what Micah explained, I have been using:

# Some vi region commands
bind j focus down
bind k focus up
bind h focus left
bind l focus right

Then you can "C-a j" to move focus down, etc.

Not quite as smooth as having it on a single key-binding, but it gets 
the job done.

Bonus, having your CTRL key where it's supposed to be, and using 'vi' 
keys, your fingers never leave the home-row. :)
