Vim and Tmux <Alt-key> binding in Urxvt

I have set URxvt.meta8: true in ~/.Xresources because I need to map <Ctrl-Alt-key> in Vim. See My last topic. Now I try to change default tmux prefix from <Ctrl-b> to <Alt-b>. This works only for URxvt.meta8: false in ~/.Xresources. Any idea how to make tmux bind <Alt-key> and Vim map <Ctrl-Alt-key> in Urxvt simultaneously?

Basically I will satisfied by URxvt.meta8: false and mapping, e.g. <Alt-j>, in Vim with

execute "set <A-j>=\ej"
map <A-j> <Esc>:tabnext<CR>

But I don't know how to map <Ctrl-Alt-key> in Vim, e.g. <Ctrl-Alt-j>.

Re: Vim and Tmux <Alt-key> binding in Urxvt

I have set URxvt.meta8: false in ~/.Xresources. Then I try to get <Ctrl-Alt-k> char sequence in terminal with cat:

$ cat
^[^K

Then I make map for <C-A-k> in Vim:

execute "set <C-A-k>=\e^K"
map <C-A-k> <Esc>:bp<CR>

But it doesn't work.

Sorry, last post was incorrect. Problem still is not solved.
