this seems to be enough to display right-to-left text acceptably enough
to be usable (with some caveats about the mouse position). Requested by

lines (ACS or UTF-8), double or heavy (UTF-8), simple (plain ASCII) or
number (the pane numbers). Lines that won't work on a non-UTF-8 terminal
are translated back into ACS when they are output.
client and allows it to be changed independently from the real active
pane stored in the window. This is can be used with session groups which
allow an independent current window (although it would be nice to have a
flag for this too and remove session groups). The client active pane is
only really useful interactively, many things (hooks, window-style,
zooming) still use the window active pane.
everything up in tty_ctx. Provide a way to initialize the tty_ctx from a
callback and use it to let popups draw directly through input_parse in
the same way as panes do, rather than forcing a full redraw on every
change.
which allows formats to be expanded. Any styles without a '#{' are still
validated when they are set but any with a '#{' are not. Formats are not
expanded usefully in many cases yet, that will be changed later.
To make this work, a few other changes:
- set-option -a with a style option automatically appends a ",".
- OSC 10 and 11 don't set the window-style option anymore, instead the
fg and bg are stored in the pane struct and act as the defaults that
can be overridden by window-style.
- status-fg and -bg now override status-style instead of trying to keep
them in sync.
clear it on the first redraw, and it can't be set when we are finished
or they would be redrawn again, so if the redraw is deferred for a
client, copy the redraw flag into a separate set of bits just for that
client.
the data from the last one, other panes could update while waiting, so
we set the flag to redraw them all when the new redraw actually
happened. But this means a lot of redrawing panes unnecessarily if they
haven't changed - so instead set a flag to say "at least one pane needs
to be redrawed" then look at the invidual pane flags to see which ones
need it.
changes to allow the status line to be entirely configured with a single
option.
Now that it is possible to configure their content, enable the existing
code that lets the status line be multiple lines in height. The status
option can now take a value of 2, 3, 4 or 5 (as well as the previous on
or off) to configure more than one line. The new status-format array
option configures the format of each line, the default just references
the existing status-* options, although some of the more obscure status
options may be eliminated in time.
Additions to the #[] syntax are: "align" to specify alignment (left,
centre, right), "list" for the window list and "range" to configure
ranges of text for the mouse bindings.
The "align" keyword can also be used to specify alignment of entries in
tree mode and the pane status lines.
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.
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.

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.
jobs, this means that if the same job is used for different windows or
panes (for example in pane-border-format), it will be run separately for
each pane.
sequences (notable EL and ED but also IL, DL, ICH, DCH) create blank
cells using the current background colour rather than the default
colour.
On modern systems BCE doesn't really have many benefits, but most other
terminals now support it, some (lazy) applications rely on it, and it is
not hard to include now that we have pane background colours anyway.
