Two new options:
- server option "exit-unattached" makes the server exit when no clients
are attached, even if sessions are present;
- session option "destroy-unattached" destroys a session once no clients
are attached to it.
These are useful for preventing tmux remaining in the background where
it is undesirable and when using tmux as a login shell to keep a limit
on new sessions.
Use UTF-8 line drawing characters on UTF-8 terminals. Fixes some stupid
terminals (I'm looking at you, putty) which disable the vt100 ACS mode
switching sequences in UTF-8 mode.
Also on terminals without ACS at all, use ASCII equivalents where
obvious.
Add -n and -p flags to switch-client to move to the next and previous
session (yes, it doesn't match window/pane, but so what, nor does
switch-client).
Based on a diff long ago from "edsouza".
Do not call event_del() for signals after fork(), just use sigaction()
directly instead - calling libevent functions after fork() w/o
event_reinit() is a bad idea, even if in this case it was harmless.
Change the way backoff works. Instead of stopping reading from the pty
when the client tty backs up too much, just stop updating the tty and
only update the internal screen. Then when the tty recovers, force a
redraw.
This prevents a dodgy client from causing other clients to go into
backoff while still allowing tmux to be responsive (locally) when seeing
lots of output.
When changing so that the client passes its stdout and stderr as well as
stdin up to the server, I forgot one essential point - the tmux server
could now be both the producer and consumer. This happens when tmux is
run inside tmux, as well as when piping tmux commands together.
So, using stdio(3) was a bad idea - if sufficient data was written, this
could block in write(2). When that happened and the server was both
producer and consumer, it deadlocks.
Change to use libevent bufferevents for the client stdin, stdout and
stderr instead. This is trivial enough for output but requires a
callback mechanism to trigger when stdin is finished.
This relies on the underlying polling mechanism for libevent to work
with whatever devices to which the user could redirect stdin, stdout or
stderr, hence the change to use poll(2) over kqueue(2) for tmux.
Return the command client return code with MSG_EXIT now that MSG_ERROR and
MSG_PRINT are unused.
New clients should be compatible with old tmux servers but vice versa may print
an error.
Custom layouts. list-windows command displays the layout as a string (such as
"bb62,159x48,0,0{79x48,0,0,79x48,80,0}") and it can be applied to another
window (with the same number of panes or fewer) using select-layout.
Send all three of stdin, stdout, stderr from the client to the server, so that
commands can directly make use of them. This means that load-buffer and
save-buffer can have "-" as the file to read from stdin or write to stdout.
This is a protocol version bump so the tmux server will need to be restarted
after upgrade (or an older client used).
Store the current working directory in the session, change the default-path
option to default to empty and make that mean that the stored session CWD is
used.
Setting the cmdlist pointer in the bind-key to NULL to prevent it being freed
after the command is executing is bogus because it may still be needed if the
same command is going to be executed again (for example if you "bind-key a
bind-key b ..."). Making a copy is hard, so instead add a reference count to
the cmd_list.
While here, also print bind-key -n and the rest of the flags properly.
Fixes problem reported by mcbride@.
Fix problems with window sizing seen by Raghavendra D Prabhu when
starting tmux from .xinitrc.
One of the very few things the server relies on the client for now is to
pass through a message on SIGWINCH, but there is a condition where
potentially a SIGWINCH may be lost during the transition from unattached
(main.c) to attached (client.c). So trigger a size change immediately
after the client installs its SIGWINCH handler.
Also, when the terminal is resized, reset the scroll region and cursor
position. Previously, we were clearing our saved idea of these, but in
fact some terminals do not reset them on resize, so this caused problems
during redraw.
While here make a resize to the same size not cause a redraw and rename
the tmux.out output log file to include the tmux PID.
When the mode-mouse option is on, support dragging to make a selection
in copy mode.
Also support the scroll wheel, although xterm strangely does not ignore
it in application mouse mode, causing redraw artifacts when scrolling up
(other terminals appear to be better behaved).
Identical behaviour to select-prompt can now be obtained with
command-prompt, so remove select-prompt and change ' to be bound to
command-prompt -p index "select-window -t :%%".
Make signal handler setup/teardown two common functions instead of six,
and reset SIGCHLD after fork to fix problems with some shells. From
Romain Francoise.
Permit keys in copy mode to be prefixed by a repeat count, entered with
[1-9] in vi mode, or M-[1-9] in emacs mode.
From Micah Cowan, tweaked a little by me.
copy mode uses the real screen as backing and if it is updated while copying,
strange things can happen. So, freeze reading from the pty while in copy mode.
Instead of bailing out on the first configuration file error, carry on,
collecting all the errors, then start with the active window in more mode
displaying them.
vi-style B, W and E keys in copy mode to navigate between words treating only
spaces as word separators. Also add . to the list of word separators for
standard word navigation.
From Micah Cowan, tweaked slightly by me.
Add "server options" which are server-wide and not bound to a session or
window. Set and displayed with "set -s" and "show -s".
Currently the only option is "quiet" (like command-line -q, allowing it to be
set from .tmux.conf), but others will come along.
Massive spaces->tabs and trailing whitespace cleanup, hopefully for the last
time now I've configured emacs to make them displayed in really annoying
colours...
Eliminate duplicate code and ease the passage for server-wide options by adding
a -w flag to set-option and show-options and making setw and showw aliases to
set -w and show -w.
Note: setw and showw are still there, but now aliases for set -w and show -w.
Change status line drawing to create the window list in a separate screen and
then copy it into the status line screen. This allows UTF-8 in window names and
fixes some problems with #[] in window-status-format.
Two new options, window-status-format and window-status-current-format, which
allow the format of each window in the status line window list to be controlled
using similar # sequences as status-left/right.
This diff also moves part of the way towards UTF-8 support in window names but
it isn't quite there yet.
Cleanup by moving various (mostly horrible) little bits handling UTF-8 grid
data into functions in a new file, grid-utf8.c, and use sizeof intead of
UTF8_DATA.
Also nuke trailing whitespace from tmux.1, reminded by jmc.
Add a per-client log of status line messages displayed while that client
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.
Switch the tty key tree over to an (unbalanced) ternary tree which allows
partial matches to be done (they wait for further data or a timer to expire,
like a naked escape).
Mouse and xterm-style keys still expect to be atomic.
Switch tty key input over to happen on a read event. This is a bit more
complicated because of escape input, but in that case instead of processing a
key immediately, schedule a timer and reprocess the bufer when it expires.
This currently assumes that keys will be atomic (ie that if eg F1 is pressed
the entire sequence is present in the buffer). This is usually but not always
true, a change in the tree format so it can differentiate potential (partial)
key sequences will happens soon and will allow this to be fixed.
Convert the window pane (pty master side) fd over to use a bufferevent.
The evbuffer API is very similar to the existing tmux buffer API so this was
remarkably painless. Not many possible ways to do it, I suppose.
Initial changes to move tmux to libevent.
This moves the client-side loops are pretty much fully over to event-based only
(tmux.c and client.c) but server-side (server.c and friends) treats libevent as
a sort of clever poll, waking up after every event to run various things.
Moving the server stuff over to bufferevents and timers and so on will come
later.
Add an activity time for clients, like for sessions, and change session and
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
activity time is set at creation) should have no effect on source-file.
Based on a problem reported by Jan Johansson.
If it isn't available explicitly, work out the current client in a similar way
to the current session - build a list of the possibilities then pick the
newest.
Change session and client activity and creation time members to have more
meaningful names.
Also, remove the code to try and update the session activity time for the
command client when a command message is received as is pointless because it
des not have a session.
Double the escape timer (the time after a \033 is received before tmux gives up
waiting to see if it is part of a key sequence and passes it through) to 500
ms, the previous setting was too fast. Suggested by naddy.
Add a flag for jobs that shouldn't be freed after they've died and use it for
status jobs, then only kill those jobs when status-left, status-right or
set-titles-string is changed.
Fixes problems with changing options from inside #().
If any client currently displaying a window pane has more than 1 KB of output
buffered, don't accept any further data from the process running in the pane.
This makes tmux much more responsive when flooded with output, although other
buffers can still have an impact when running remotely.
Prompted by a query from Ranganathan Sankaralingam.
Rewrite xterm-keys code (both input and output) so that works (doesn't always
output the same modifiers, accepts all the possible input keys) and is more
understandable.
Support the (mostly new) function key+modifier caps (kIC-kIC7). Most of these
will be caught (soon) by the xterm keys code in xterm itself but some other
descriptions such as rxvt define them as well.
Remove the -d flag to tmux and just use op/AX to detect default colours.
Irritatingly, although op can be used to tell if a terminal supports default
colours, it can't be used to set them because in some terminfo descriptions it
resets attributes as a side-effect (acts as sgr0) and in others it doesn't, so
it is not possible to determine reliably what the terminal state will be
afterwards. So if AX is missing and op is present, tmux just sends sgr0.
Anyone using -d for a terminal who finds they actually needed it can replace it
using terminal-overrides, but please let me know as it is probably an omission
from terminfo.
Split the server code handling clients, jobs and windows off into separate
files from server.c (merging server-msg.c into the client file) and rather than
iterating over each set after poll(), allow a callback to be specified when the
fd is added and just walk once over the returned pollfds calling each callback
where needed.
More to come, getting this in so it is tested.
