- command bits and pieces:
* use "--" to mark start of command w/ neww etc to avoid quoting
* why doesn't command-prompt work if made read-only?
* allow multiple targets: fnmatch for -t/-c, for example detach all
clients with -t*
* add -c for new-session like new-window
* attach should take a pane and select it as well as attaching
* ' and " should be parsed the same (eg "\e" vs '\e') in config
and command prompt
* last-pane across sessions
2013-08-02 12:53:17 +00:00
* exact match operator for targets (or break the substring match
and require eg x* instead of just x)
2013-03-28 12:42:00 +00:00
- make command sequences more usable
* don't require space after ;
* options for error handling: && and ||?
- options bits and pieces:
* set-remain-on-exit is a complete hack
* way to set socket path from config file
- format improvements:
* option to quote format (#{session_name:quoted})
* formats need conditions for >0 (for #P)
* some way to pad # stuff with spaces, #!2T maybe
* status stuff is redundant with formats
2014-02-01 00:47:04 +00:00
* last window update time and format for it
* formats to show if a window is linked into multiple sessions, into
multiple attached sessions, and is the active window in multiple
attached sessions?
2013-03-28 12:42:00 +00:00
- choose mode improvements:
* choose-pane command (augment choose-tree to do this?)
* choose-mode and copy-mode are very similar, make choose-mode a subset?
* flag to choose-* for sort order
2013-04-10 11:43:08 +00:00
* choose mode would be better per client than per window
2013-08-21 17:28:31 +00:00
* two choices (first one then second, for swap-pane and join-pane)
2013-03-28 12:42:00 +00:00
- improve monitor-*:
* straighten out rules for multiple clients
* think about what happens across sessions
* monitor changes within a region
* perhaps monitor /all/ panes in the window not just one
- improve mouse support:
* bind commands to mouse in different areas?
* more fine-grained options
* commands executed when clicking on a pattern (URL)
2014-02-01 00:47:04 +00:00
* send arrow key sequences for mouse scroll wheel in alternate screen
* mouse-select-pane will screw up with !MODE_MOUSE_STANDARD (it sets
the flag on w/o checking the others before calling tty_update_mode)
2013-03-28 12:42:00 +00:00
- hooks!
2009-07-16 07:35:41 +00:00
- warts on current naming:
2013-04-11 21:45:05 +00:00
* display-time but message-fg/bg/attr
2013-03-28 12:42:00 +00:00
* list-* vs show-*
* split-window -> split-pane??
- better UTF-8 support:
2013-04-11 21:45:05 +00:00
* #22T can split in the middle of UTF-8 characters!
2013-03-28 12:42:00 +00:00
* window names and titles
* message display
* prompt input
* multibyte key input
2014-02-01 00:47:04 +00:00
* buffer_sample and the choose-* could show UTF-8 properly
2013-03-28 12:42:00 +00:00
- copy/paste improvements:
* incremental searching
* append to buffer
* paste w/o trailing whitespace
* named buffers and allow gaps in the stack
* command to toggle selection not to move it in copy-mode
2014-02-01 00:47:04 +00:00
- layout stuff
* way to tag a layout as a number/name
* maybe keep last layout + size around and if size reverts just put it
back
* revamp layouts: they are too complicated, should be more closely
integrated, should support hints, layout sets should just be a
special case of custom layouts, and we should support panes that are
not attached to a cell at all. this could be the time to introduce
panelink to replace layout_cell
* way to set hints/limits about pane size for resizing
* panning over window (window larger than visible)
- terminfo bits
* use a better termcap internally instead of screen, perhaps xterm
* use screen-256color when started on 256 colour terminal?
* need a tmux terminfo entry to document the extensions we are using in
upstream terminfo
* support title stack, both internally and externally (restore on
detach) http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1149299+0+archive/2010/freebsd-questions/20100207.freebsd-questions
- code cleanup
* instead of separate window and session options, just one master
options list with each option having a type (window or session), then
options on window, on session, and global. for window options we look
window->session->global, and for session we look session->global
* the way pane, window, session destroy is handled is too complicated
and the distinction between session.c, window.c and server-fn.c
functions is not clear. could we just have kill_pane(),
kill_window(), unlink_window(), kill_session() that fix up all data
structures (flagging sessions as dead) and return a value to say
whether clients need to be checked for dead sessions? sort of like
session_detach now but more so. or some other scheme to make it
simpler and clearer? also would be nice to remove/rename server-fn.c
* more readable way to work out the various things commands need to
know about the client, notably:
- is this the config file? (cmdq->c == NULL)
- is this a command client? (cmdq->c != NULL &&
cmdq->c->session == NULL)
- is this a control client?
- can i do stdin or stdout to this client?
or even guarantee that cmdq->c != NULL and provide a better way to
tell when in the config file - then we use cmdq->c if we need a
client w/o a session else cmd_current_client
* optimize pane redraws, 20120318184853.GK10965@yelena.nicm.ath.cx
- miscellaneous
* way to keep a job running just read its last line of output for #()
link panes into multiple windows
* live update: server started with -U connects to server, requests
sessions and windows, receives file descriptors
* there are inconsistencies in what we get from old shell and what
comes from config for new sessions and windows
* multiline status line?
* bind commands to key sequences -- make it so ALL keys go through a
table, first an implicit table in which C-b is the only default
binding to a command that says "next key from $othertable" and so
on. means -n can go away as well
