but there is also now a global command queue. Instead of command queues
being dispatched on demand from wherever the command happens to be
added, they are now all dispatched from the top level server
loop. Command queues may now also include callbacks as well as commands,
and items may be inserted after the current command as well as at the end.
This all makes command queues significantly more predictable and easier
to use, and avoids the complex multiple nested command queues used by
source-file, if-shell and friends.
A mass rename of struct cmdq to a better name (cmdq_item probably) is
coming.
confusing, particularly trying to automatically figure out what target
hooks should be using. So simplify it:
- drop before hooks entirely, they don't seem to be very useful;
- commands with special requirements now fire their own after hook (for
example, if they change session or window, or if they have -t and -s
and need to choose which one the hook uses as current target);
- commands with no special requirements can have the CMD_AFTERHOOK flag
added and they will use the -t state.
At the moment new-session, new-window, split-window fire their own hook,
and display-message uses the flag. The remaining commands still need to
be looked at.
support line editing and instead executes a command as soon as a
non-number key is pressed. Add a -N flag to command-prompt for the same
in copy mode. Reported by Theo Buehler.
The vi-copy and emacs-copy mode key tables are gone, and instead copy
mode commands are bound in one of two normal key tables ("copy-mode" or
"copy-mode-vi"). Keys are bound to "send-keys -X copy-mode-command". So:
bind -temacs-copy C-Up scroll-up
bind -temacs-copy -R5 WheelUpPane scroll-up
Becomes:
bind -Tcopy-mode C-Up send -X scroll-up
bind -Tcopy-mode WheelUpPane send -N5 -X scroll-up
This allows the full command parser and command set to be used - for
example, we can use the normal command prompt for searching, jumping,
and so on instead of a custom one:
bind -Tcopy-mode C-r command-prompt -p'search up' "send -X search-backward '%%'"
command-prompt also gets a -1 option to only require on key press, which
is needed for jumping.
The plan is to get rid of mode keys entirely, so more to come eventually.
pane-border-status is set to "top" or "bottom" (rather than "off"),
every pane has a permanent top or bottom border containing the text from
pane-border-format.
Based on a diff sent long ago by Jonathan Slenders, mostly rewritten and
simplified by me.
wasting unnecessary space. The 'Tc' flag must be set in the external
TERM entry (using terminal-overrides or a custom terminfo entry), if not
tmux will map to the closest of the 256 or 16 colour palettes.
Mostly from Suraj N Kurapati, based on a diff originally by someone else.
#{=10:...} length limit, add #{t:...} to convert a time_t format to a
string, #{b:...} for basename and #{d:...} for dirname. Remove all the
foo_string time formats as they can now be replaced by "t:", for example
#{window_activity_string} becomes #{t:window_activity}.
server at a time; it may be toggled or cleared with select-pane -m and
-M (the border is highlighted). A new target '~' or '{marked}' specifies
the marked pane to commands and it is the default target for the
swap-pane and join-pane -s flag (this makes them much simpler to use -
mark the source pane and then change to the target pane to run swapp or
joinp).
multiple times, also remove the default space in window_flags and use a
conditional to add it in window-status-format (this means additional
flags can be added in the option without extra spaces). From Thomas Adam
with tweaks by me.
historical (incorrect) behaviour for SGR 3 and send smso
(standout). Previously, we would send sitm (italics) if the terminal
outside had it and smso otherwise. This was acceptably until recently
because xterm's terminfo entry lacked sitm, so most users got smso.
People who want italics should set default-terminal to the forthcoming
"tmux" entry (and be prepared to deal with it being missing on older
hosts).
As a side-effect this changes default-terminal to be a server rather
than a session option.
suggested by and ok naddy
consistent but with much less duplication, but keeping the same internal
API. Also adds more readable aliases for some of the special tokens used
in targets (eg "{start}" instead of "^"). Some behaviours may have
changed, for example prefix matches now happen before fnmatch.
keys. The default key bindings become the "prefix" table and -n the
"root" table. Keys may be bound in new tables with bind -T and
switch-client -T used to specify the table in which the next key should
be looked up. Based on a diff from Keith Amling.
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
execvp() to help avoid quoting problems. One argument still goes to "sh
-c" like before. Requested by many over the years. Patch from J Raynor.
much as before - buffers are automatically named "buffer0000",
"buffer0001" and so on and ordered as a stack. Buffers can be named
explicitly when creating ("loadb -b foo" etc) or renamed ("setb -b
buffer0000 -n foo"). If buffers are named explicitly, they are not
deleted when buffer-limit is reached. Diff from J Raynor.
mostly useless and annoying messages. Change those commands to silence
on success like all the others. Still accept the -q command line flag
and "quiet" server option for now.
options with a single foo-style option. For example:
set -g status-fg yellow
set -g status-bg red
set -g status-attr blink
Becomes:
set -g status-style fg=yellow,bg=red,blink
The -a flag to set can be used to add to rather than replace a style. So:
set -g status-bg red
Becomes:
set -ag status-style bg=red
Currently this is fully backwards compatible (all *-{fg,bg,attr} options
remain) but the plan is to deprecate them over time.
From Tiago Cunha.
descriptors rather than strings.
- Each session still has a current working directory.
- New sessions still get their working directory from the client that
created them or its attached session if any.
- New windows are created by default in the session working directory.
- The -c flag to new, neww, splitw allows the working directory to be
overridden.
- The -c flag to attach let's the session working directory be changed.
- The default-path option has been removed.
To get the equivalent to default-path '.', do:
bind c neww -c $PWD
To get the equivalent of default-path '~', do:
bind c neww -c ~
This also changes the client identify protocol to be a set of messages rather
than one as well as some other changes that should make it easier to make
backwards-compatible protocol changes in future.
