NOTES
|
||||
=====
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
|
||||
This file describes rough notes regarding ideas for potential future tmux
|
||||
development. It's not necessarily guaranteed that items in this TODO file
|
||||
will ever get implemented.
|
||||
- make command sequences more usable
|
||||
* don't require space after ;
|
||||
* options for error handling: && and ||?
|
||||
|
||||
It is asked therefore, that anyone thinking of undertaking a task in this
|
||||
TODO file, email tmux-users@lists.sf.net to discuss the feature.
|
||||
- options bits and pieces:
|
||||
* set-remain-on-exit is a complete hack
|
||||
* way to set socket path from config file
|
||||
|
||||
Thie file is split up between tmux user interface (UI) issues, and terminal
|
||||
compatibility issues.
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
|
||||
TMUX UI ISSUES
|
||||
==============
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
* chose mode would be better per client than per window
|
||||
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
|
||||
- panning over window (window larger than visible)
|
||||
|
||||
- implicitly add exec to the commands for new windows (switch to disable it)?
|
||||
- bring back detach-session to detach all clients on a session?
|
||||
- allow fnmatch for -c, so that you can, eg, detach all clients
|
||||
- garbage collect window history (100 lines at a time?) if it hasn't been used
|
||||
in $x time
|
||||
- flags to centre screen in window
|
||||
- activity/bell should be per-window not per-link? what if it is cur win in
|
||||
session not being watched?
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
- 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?
|
||||
- would be nice to be able to use "--" to mark start of command w/ neww etc
|
||||
to avoid quoting
|
||||
- make command sequences more usable: don't require space after ;, handle
|
||||
errors better
|
||||
- choice and more mode would be better per client than per window?
|
||||
- hooks to which commands may be attached, for example: tmux add-hook
|
||||
"new-session" if-shell "[ -e $HOME/.tmux-session.conf ]" source-file
|
||||
$HOME/.tmux-session.conf
|
||||
- way to set socket path from config file
|
||||
- warts on current naming:
|
||||
- display-time but message-fg/bg/attr
|
||||
- list-* vs show-*
|
||||
- server-info
|
||||
- up-pane/down-pane/swap-pane -U/swap-pane -D vs next-*/previous-*
|
||||
- split-window -> split-pane??
|
||||
- some way to force a screen to use the entire terminal even if it is forced
|
||||
to be smaller by other clients. pan smaller terminal? (like screen F)
|
||||
-- idea of a "view" onto a window, need base x/y offsets for redraw
|
||||
- commands should be able to succeed or fail and have || or && for command
|
||||
lists
|
||||
- some way to keep a command running continually and just use its last line of
|
||||
output
|
||||
- UTF-8 to a non-UTF-8 terminal should not be able to balls up
|
||||
the terminal - www/ruby-addressable; make regress
|
||||
- support esc-esc to quit in modes
|
||||
- fix ctrl+F1-F4 output. to what?
|
||||
- better utf8 support: window names, prompt input, message display
|
||||
- option to move copy mode indicator into status line
|
||||
- selection behaviour closer to vi in vi mode
|
||||
- live update: server started with -U connects to server, requests sessions and
|
||||
windows, receives fds
|
||||
- sort out inheriting config from shell on new sessions/windows:
|
||||
should pick up default-path/termios/etc from client if possible,
|
||||
else leave empty/default
|
||||
- link panes into multiple windows
|
||||
- bells should be passed between sessions with visual-bell etc
|
||||
sequence until its shell exits, to allow them to be used from the config file
|
||||
- better session sharing: create-socket command to create socket somewhere (-r
|
||||
flag for readonly)
|
||||
- multiline status line (no?)
|
||||
- support title stack, both internally and externally
|
||||
|
||||
- improve mouse support:
|
||||
* bind commands to mouse in different areas?
|
||||
* more fine-grained options
|
||||
* commands executed when clicking on a pattern (URL)
|
||||
|
||||
- hooks!
|
||||
|
||||
- warts on current naming:
|
||||
* display-time but message-fg/bg/attr
|
||||
* list-* vs show-*
|
||||
* server-info
|
||||
* split-window -> split-pane??
|
||||
|
||||
- way to keep a job running just read its last line of output for #()
|
||||
|
||||
- better UTF-8 support:
|
||||
* window names and titles
|
||||
* message display
|
||||
* prompt input
|
||||
* multibyte key input
|
||||
|
||||
- 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?
|
||||
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
- some way to pad # stuff with spaces, #!2T maybe
|
||||
- a binding to "scroll down and exit at bottom" copy mode
|
||||
- some way to pass keystrokes in copy mode through to underlying window. why?
|
||||
- last window update time and # replacement for it for display-message
|
||||
- find-window across sessions - other ways to make session handling easier?
|
||||
- ' and " should be parsed the same (eg "\e" vs '\e') in config and command
|
||||
prompt?
|
||||
- command to toggle selection not to move it in copy-mode
|
||||
- audit of escape sequence support vs xterm
|
||||
- support binding keys to mouse (mouse-select-pane -> mouse-keys or something,
|
||||
mouse click == select-pane -t %%, mouse scroll up == copy-mode)
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
- monitor, bell etc should monitor /all/ panes in the window not just one
|
||||
- a history of commands that can be reversed (reverse member of each command,
|
||||
and a buffer)
|
||||
- info() when changing to same window
|
||||
- way to add dest for break-pane; maybe some easier way to unbreak-pane
|
||||
- case insensitive searching
|
||||
- incremental searching in copy mode.
|
||||
- configurable borders and empty space filler for when panes < window?
|
||||
- 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)
|
||||
- pass shell commands as argv rather than strings, allow them to be specified
|
||||
in commands without quotes
|
||||
- named buffers and allow gaps in the stack
|
||||
- monitor-activity is broken in several ways with multiple clients
|
||||
- monitor-activity should be more powerful (eg set a region)
|
||||
- maybe a way to put pane names instead of window names in status line
|
||||
- support for borderless panes
|
||||
- wait-for command 20130222153957.GY6782@yelena.nicm.ath.cx
|
||||
- last-pane across sessions
|
||||
|
||||
- last window update time and format for it
|
||||
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
|
||||
- why are -s and -t different for swap- and move-pane?
|
||||
|
||||
- copy/paste improvements:
|
||||
* case insensitive searching
|
||||
* 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
|
||||
|
||||
- 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)
|
||||
|
||||
- panes should have names like windows
|
||||
- command-prompt doesn't work if made read-only. why?
|
||||
- option to quote format eg #{session_name:quoted}
|
||||
- formats need conditions for >0 (for #P)
|
||||
- fetch full command line on !Linux, and add option to strip prefixes
|
||||
such as "sh " "/bin/sh " etc etc
|
||||
- synchronize-windows option
|
||||
- append to buffer in copy mode
|
||||
- way to paste w/o trailing whitespace
|
||||
- flag to switch-client to switch all clients
|
||||
- history of layouts and undo/redo flags to selectl
|
||||
|
||||
- way to tag a layout as a number/name
|
||||
|
||||
- optimize pane redraws, 20120318184853.GK10965@yelena.nicm.ath.cx
|
||||
- support multibyte key strings
|
||||
- allow commands to be executed when certain patterns in a screen
|
||||
are clicked on with the mouse
|
||||
- flag to make next/previous commands skip a window
|
||||
- way to do tmux command/run-shell from mode keys
|
||||
- send command to all windows
|
||||
- choose-pane command (augment choose-tree to do this?)
|
||||
- choose-mode and copy-mode are very similar. Perhaps make choose-mode a subset
|
||||
of copy-mode in that it inherits key-bindings and other traits but not all
|
||||
- add -c for new-session like new-window
|
||||
- flag to choose-* for sort order (eg sort windows/sessions/clients by last
|
||||
used time) - perhaps using formats (but what about numeric sort)?
|
||||
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
|
||||
- maybe keep last layout + size around and if size reverts just put it back
|
||||
|
||||
- way to set hints/limits about pane size for resizing
|
||||
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
- run-shell/if-shell should support formats
|
||||
- attach should take a pane and select it as well as attaching
|
||||
- attach should have a flag to create session if it doesn't exist. or better
|
||||
new a flag to attach it
|
||||
|
||||
TERMINAL ISSUES
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
- use a better termcap internally instead of screen, perhaps xterm
|
||||
- clear window title on exit (see using xterm title stack)
|
||||
- get it passing all the vttest tests that don't require resizing the terminal
|
||||
- support for bce
|
||||
|
||||
- use screen-256color when started on 256 colour terminal?
|
||||
* We need a tmux terminfo entry to document the extensions we are using in
|
||||
upstream terminfo. Must NOT change (only add or remove) anything from
|
||||
TERM=screen so we can fallback!
