and the previous restored when the top is exited. If a mode that is
already on the stack is entered, the existing instance is moved to the
top as the active mode rather than being opened new.
been a limitation for a long time.
There are two new options, window-size and default-size, and a new
command, resize-window. The force-width and force-height options and the
session_width and session_height formats have been removed.
The new window-size option tells tmux how to work out the size of
windows: largest means it picks the size of the largest session,
smallest the smallest session (similar to the old behaviour) and manual
means that it does not automatically resize windows. The default is
currently largest but this may change. aggressive-resize modifies the
choice of session for largest and smallest as it did before.
If a window is in a session attached to a client that is too small, only
part of the window is shown. tmux attempts to keep the cursor visible,
so the part of the window displayed is changed as the cursor moves (with
a small delay, to try and avoid excess redrawing when applications
redraw status lines or similar that are not currently visible). The
offset of the visible portion of the window is shown in status-right.
Drawing windows which are larger than the client is not as efficient as
those which fit, particularly when the cursor moves, so it is
recommended to avoid using this on slow machines or networks (set
window-size to smallest or manual).
The resize-window command can be used to resize a window manually. If it
is used, the window-size option is automatically set to manual for the
window (undo this with "setw -u window-size"). resize-window works in a
similar way to resize-pane (-U -D -L -R -x -y flags) but also has -a and
-A flags. -a sets the window to the size of the smallest client (what it
would be if window-size was smallest) and -A the largest.
For the same behaviour as force-width or force-height, use resize-window
-x or -y, and "setw -u window-size" to revert to automatic sizing..
If the global window-size option is set to manual, the default-size
option is used for new windows. If -x or -y is used with new-session,
that sets the default-size option for the new session.
The maximum size of a window is 10000x10000. But expect applications to
complain and much higher memory use if making a window excessively
big. The minimum size is the size required for the current layout
including borders.
The refresh-client command can be used to pan around a window, -U -D -L
-R moves up, down, left or right and -c returns to automatic cursor
tracking. The position is reset when the current window is changed.
intended as the target client where the message should be displayed but
at some point (perhaps when -p was added), it was used for format
expansion too. This means it can get a bit weird where you have client
formats expanding for a client with a different current session than the
target session.
However, it is nice that display-message can be used to show information
about a specific client. So change so that the -c client will be used if
the session matches the target session (-t or default), otherwise the
best client will be chosen.
some modern features.
Now the common code is in mode-tree.c, which provides an API used by the
three modes now separated into window-{buffer,client,tree}.c. Buffer
mode shows buffers, client mode clients and tree mode a tree of
sessions, windows and panes.
Each mode has a common set of key bindings plus a few that are specific
to the mode. Other changes are:
- each mode has a preview pane: for buffers this is the buffer content
(very useful), for others it is a preview of the pane;
- items may be sorted in different ways ('O' key);
- multiple items may be tagged and an operation applied to all of them
(for example, to delete multiple buffers at once);
- in tree mode a command may be run on the selected item (session,
window, pane) or on tagged items (key ':');
- displayed items may be filtered in tree mode by using a format (this
is used to implement find-window) (key 'f');
- the custom format (-F) for the display is no longer available;
- shortcut keys change from 0-9, a-z, A-Z which was always a bit weird
with keys used for other uses to 0-9, M-a to M-z.
Now that the code is simpler, other improvements will come later.
Primary key bindings for each mode are documented under the commands in
the man page (choose-buffer, choose-client, choose-tree).

and not have to wait for an update when they change pane, we allow
commands to run more than once a second if the expanded form
changes. Unfortunately this can mean them being run far too often
(pretty much continually) when multiple clients exist, because some
formats (including #D) will always differ between clients.
To avoid this, give each client its own tree of jobs which means that
the same command will be different instances for each client - similar
to how we have the tag to separate commands for different panes.

reasonable amount (currently width * height * 8 bytes), discard all
output to the terminal and start trying to redraw periodically
instead. Continue with this until the amount of data we are trying to
write falls to a low level again.
This helps to prevent tmux sitting on a huge buffer of data when there
are processes with fast output running inside tmux but the outside
terminal is slow.
A new client_discarded format holds the amount of data that has been
discarded due to this mechanism.
The three variables (when to start this, when to stop, and how often to
redraw) are basically "works for me" at the moment, this is going in to
see how it goes and if it causes problems for anyone else.
falls back to an alternative if the tty name is not available. This is
clearer than overloading the client ttyname member and allows us to
remove the path stored in the tty struct, it should always be the same
as the client.
