tmux/TODO

- line mode/char-at-a-time mode a la telnet?
- handle ioctl/termios stuff on window sockets
- figure out once and for all what is going on with backspace and del
      backspace should be translated per the termios setting.
      del passed through?
- window creation/idle time
- profile/optimise, particularly (i suspect) input.c
- could use bsearch all over the place or get rid of smaller tables (clientmsg)
- better errors when creating new windows/sessions (how?)
- Implicitly add exec to the commands for new windows (switch to disable it)
- it would be nice to have multichar commands so you could have C-b K K for
  kill-window to limit accidental presses
- commands:
 	extend list-clients to list clients attached to a session (-a for all?)
	bring back detach-session to detach all clients on a session?
- allow fnmatch for -c, so that you can, eg, detach all clients
- bind non prefix keys
- garbage collect window history (100 lines at a time?) if it hasn't been used
  in $x time (need window creation/use times)
- lift SHRT_MAX limits for history
- audit copy/scroll and other modes for problems with very small windows
- split clients into three RB trees by fd: attached/unattached/dead?
  or tailqs? what would be fastest per-char?
- better mode features: search, back word, forward word, etc
- flags to centre screen in window
- better terminal emulation (identify, insert mode, some other bits)
- when resizing, use history
- audit for leftover/unused code
- activity/bell should be per-window not per-link? what if it is cur win in
  session not being watched?
- tidy up window modes
- next prev word etc in command prompt; also ^K
- many more info() displays for various things
- vi half page scroll
- backspace should perhaps wrap backwards over newlines which were not moved
  down by a newline: screen and the OS X terminal does this but xterm and most
  others do not. this might be hard: a flag for each grid line (top bit of size
  maybe)? a single flag is insufficient as can't then tell when to /stop/
  unwrapping
- input.c is too complicated. simplify?
- use a better termcap internally instead of screen, perhaps xterm
- kill all but current pane
- fix rxvt cursor fg issue (text under cursor can have non-white fg)
- key handling sucks a bit and needs to be reworked
- some people find first window being 0 rather than 1 is awkward on the
  keyboard. what about a new-window-index option that sets the base at which
  tmux starts numbering new windows, then they can do: set -g new-window-index
  1; bind 0 selectw -t:10
- some way to change status line colours based on something? command?
- client sx/sy should be in tty, then can let the terminal wrap at edge
  to allow xterm to pick up it should be one line for its c/p
- should be able to move to a hidden pane and it would be moved into view. pane
  number in status line/top-right would be cool for this
- command to run something without a window at all - output to
  window-more. what for? isnt this the same as doing it w/ splitw/neww now?
- would be nice if tmux could be the shell (tmux attach, but hard link to tmux
  binary as "tmuxsh" or wrapper script?) -- problems with tty dev permissions
- support other mouse modes (highlight etc) and use it in copy mode
- set-remain-on-exit is a bit of a hack, some way to do it generically?
- set-option should be set-session-option and should be overall global options
  for stuff like mode keys?
      also quiet, utf8 and maybe other flags?
- clear window title on exit
- refer to windows by name etc (duplicates? fnmatch?)
- the output code (tty.c) could do with optimisation depending on term
  capibilities
- would be nice to be able to use "--" to mark start of command w/ neww etc
  to avoid quoting

(hopefully) for 0.9, in no particular order:
- a command to display the status line briefly when it is turned off
- FAQ "Can I have some examples of cool things I can do with tmux?" -- linkw,
  more??
- clone session command
- make command sequences more usable: don't require space after ;, handle
  errors better
- might be nice if attach-session behaved like switch-client inside an
  existing client
- key to switch to copy mode from scroll mode
- attach should have a flag to create session if it doesn't exist
- layout/split stuff:
     what to do about manual mode?
     	  - two independent manual modes: vertical and horizontal?
	  - proper grid mode? (hard)
- test bug sshing from freebsd console (tom iirc?)
- document manual-vertical changes
- document main-pane-width and main-pane-height and main-horizontal
- document clear-history
- document paste in status line
- document SIGUSR1 behaviour
- document select-layout
- document new UTF-8 behaviour (tmux.1, FAQ, etc)
- more testing on UTF-8 guesswork, improve tty checks

Try to change the window title to match the command running it in. This is done by reading argv[0] from the process group leader of the group that owns the tty (tcgetpgrp()). This can't be done portably so some OS-dependent code is introduced (ugh); OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Linux are supported at the moment. A new window flag, automatic-rename, is available: if this is set to off, the window name is not changed. Specifying a name with the new-window, new-session or rename-window commands will automatically set this flag to off for the window in question. To disable it entirely set the option to off globally (setw -g automatic-rename off). 2009-01-20 19:35:03 +00:00			`- some way to change status line colours based on something? command?`

* New session flag "set-remain-on-exit" to set remain-on-exit flag for new windows created in that session (like "remain-by-default" used to do). Not perfectly happy about this, but until I can think of a good way to introduce it generically (maybe a set of options in the session) this will do.
