options for "mouse-this" and "mouse-that", mouse events may be bound as
keys and there is one option "mouse" that turns on mouse support
entirely (set -g mouse on).
See the new MOUSE SUPPORT section of the man page for description of the
key names and new flags (-t= to specify the pane or window under mouse
as a target, and send-keys -M to pass through a mouse event).
The default builtin bindings for the mouse are:
bind -n MouseDown1Pane select-pane -t=; send-keys -M
bind -n MouseDown1Status select-window -t=
bind -n MouseDrag1Pane copy-mode -M
bind -n MouseDrag1Border resize-pane -M
To get the effect of turning mode-mouse off, do:
unbind -n MouseDrag1Pane
unbind -temacs-copy MouseDrag1Pane
The old mouse options are now gone, set-option -q may be used to
suppress warnings if mixing configuration files.
split-window, respawn-window or respawn-pane, pass them directly to

commands and allow a command to block execution of subsequent
commands. This allows run-shell and if-shell to be synchronous which has
been much requested.
Each client has a default command queue and commands are consumed one at
a time from it. A command may suspend execution from the queue by
returning CMD_RETURN_WAIT and then resume it by calling cmd_continue() -
for example run-shell does this from the callback that is fired after
the job is freed.
When the command queue becomes empty, command clients are automatically
exited (unless attaching). A callback is also fired - this is used for
nested commands in, for example, if-shell which can block execution of
the client's cmdq until a new cmdq becomes empty.
Also merge all the old error/info/print functions together and lose the
old curclient/cmdclient distinction - a cmdq is bound to one client (or
none if in the configuration file), this is a command client if
c->session is NULL otherwise an attached client.

for home directory, . for server start directory, - for session start
directory and empty for the pane's working directory (the default). All
can also be used as part of a relative path (eg -/foo). Also provide -c
flags to neww and splitw to override default-path setting.
Based on a diff from sthen. ok sthen
default-path isn't empty, it is used. Otherwise:
1) If tmux neww is run from the command line, the working directory of the
client is used.
2) Otherwise sysctl KERN_PROC_CWD is used to retrieve the current
working directory of the process in the active pane.
3) If that fails, the directory where the session was created is used.
Support code by Romain Francois, OpenBSD specific bits by me.
Note this requires a recent userland and kernel with KERN_PROC_CWD.
Originally, tmux commands were parsed in the client process into a
struct with the command data which was then serialised and sent to the
server to be executed. The parsing was later moved into the server (an
argv was sent from the client), but the parse step and intermediate
struct was kept.
This change removes that struct and the separate parse step. Argument
parsing and printing is now common to all commands (in arguments.c) with
each command left with just an optional check function (to validate the
arguments at parse time), the exec function and a function to set up any
key bindings (renamed from the old init function).
This is overall more simple and consistent.
There should be no changes to any commands behaviour or syntax although
as this touches every command please watch for any unexpected changes.

Keep a session index which is used in a couple of places internally but
make it an ever-increasing number rather than filling in gaps with new
sessions.
exists. A new message-limit session option sets the maximum number of entries
and a command, show-messages, shows the log (bound to ~ by default).
This (and prompt history) might be better as a single global log but until
there are global options it is easier for them to be per client.
client lookup to pick the most recently used rather than the most recently
created - this is much more useful when used interactively and (because the

Also, remove the code to try and update the session activity time for the

current client, in a similar manner to how sessions already work: if the
current session can be established and has only one client, use that; otherwise
use the most recently created client.
command specified by a new option "lock-command" (by default "lock -np") in
each client.
This means each terminal has to be unlocked individually but simplifies the
code and allows the system password to be used to unlock.
Note that the set-password command is gone, so it will need to be removed from
configuration files, and the -U command line flag has been removed.
This is the third protocol version change so again it is best to stop the tmux
server before upgrading.
template. After a choice is made, %% (or %1) in the template is replaced by the
name of the session, window or client suitable for -t and the result executed
as a command. So, for example, "choose-window "killw -t '%%'"" will kill the
selected window.
The defaults if no template is given are (as now) select-window for
choose-window, switch-client for choose-session, and detach-client for
choose-client (now bound to D).
within tmux.
There is a global environment, copied from the external environment when the
server is started and each sesssion has an (initially empty) session
environment which overrides it.
New commands set-environment and show-environment manipulate or display the
environments.
A new session option, update-environment, is a space-separated list of
variables which are updated from the external environment into the session
environment every time a new session is created - the default is DISPLAY.
using -p index, a target pane is now addressed with the normal -t window form
but suffixed with a period and a pane index, for example :0.2 or
mysess:mywin.1. An unadorned number such as -t 1 is tried as a pane index in
the current window, if that fails the same rules are followed as for a target
window and the current pane in that window used.
As a side-effect this now means that swap-pane can swap panes between different
windows.
Note that this changes the syntax of the break-pane, clear-history, kill-pane,
resize-pane, select-pane and swap-pane commands.
command line. The name of all slave ptys in the server is known, so if the
client was run on a tty, look for any sessions containing that tty and use the
most recently created.
This is more reliable than looking at $TMUX if windows have been moved or
linked between sessions.
This is the first of two changes to make the protocol more resilient and less
sensitive to other changes in the code, particularly with commands. The client
now packs argv into a buffer and sends it to the server for parsing, rather
than doing it itself and sending the parsed command data.
As a side-effect this also removes a lot of now-unused command marshalling
code.
Mixing a server without this change and a client with or vice versa will cause
tmux to hang or crash, please ensure that tmux is entirely killed before
upgrading.
a string with no colon as a target window is first looked up as a window then
as a session, noted by Iain Morgan.

page.

default). The same substitutions are applied as for status-left/right.
- Add support for including the window index (#I), pane index (#P) and window

From Tiago Cunha, thanks!
- move the code back into cmd.c and merge with the existing functions where
possible;
- accept "-tttyp0" as well as "-t/dev/ttyp0" for clients;
- when looking up session names, try an exact match first, and if that fails
look for it as an fnmatch pattern and then as the start of a name - if more
that one session matches an error is given; so if there is one session called
"mysession", -tmysession, -tmysess, -tmysess* are equivalent but if there
is also "mysession2", the last two are errors;
- similarly for windows, if the argument is not a valid index or exact window
name match, try it against the window names as an fnmatch pattern and a
prefix.
