terminal features, each of which are defined in one place and map to a
builtin set of terminfo(5) capabilities. Features can be specified based
on TERM with a new terminal-features option or with the -T flag when
running tmux. tmux will also detect a few common terminals from the DA
and DSR responses.
This is intended to make it easier to configure tmux's use of
terminfo(5) even in the presence of outdated ncurses(3) or terminfo(5)
databases or for features which do not yet have a terminfo(5) entry.
Instead of having to grok terminfo(5) capability names and what they
should be set to in the terminal-overrides option, the user can
hopefully just give tmux a feature name and let it do the right thing.
The terminal-overrides option remains both for backwards compatibility
and to allow tweaks of individual capabilities.
tmux already did much of this already, this makes it tidier and simpler
to configure.
umask 177 instead of 117 because it may not be in a safe directory like
the default directory in /tmp. The user can chmod it more open after it
is created if they want.
there should be no change to existing behaviour) and are set and shown
with set-option -p and show-options -p.
Change remain-on-exit and window-style/window-active-style to be pane
options (some others will be changed later).
This makes select-pane -P and -g unnecessary so no longer document them
(they still work) and no longer document set-window-option and
show-window-options in favour of set-option -w and show-options -w.
multiple commands to be easily bound to one hook. set-hook and
show-hooks remain but they are now variants of set-option and
show-options. show-options now has a -H flag to show hooks (by default
they are not shown).
commands this pushes more of the code into options.c and ties it more
closely to the options table rather than having an unnecessary
split. Also add support for array options (will be used later). Only
(intentional) user visible change is that show-options output is now
passed through vis(3) with VIS_DQ so quotes are escaped.
locale since if it isn't UTF-8 the system is broken anyway. If it fails,
try "" and check for UTF-8 with nl_langinfo(CODESET) rather than
wcwidth(). Based on a diff from schwarze@, nl_langinfo also suggested by
stsp@.
