some modern features.
Now the common code is in mode-tree.c, which provides an API used by the
three modes now separated into window-{buffer,client,tree}.c. Buffer
mode shows buffers, client mode clients and tree mode a tree of
sessions, windows and panes.
Each mode has a common set of key bindings plus a few that are specific
to the mode. Other changes are:
- each mode has a preview pane: for buffers this is the buffer content
(very useful), for others it is a preview of the pane;
- items may be sorted in different ways ('O' key);
- multiple items may be tagged and an operation applied to all of them
(for example, to delete multiple buffers at once);
- in tree mode a command may be run on the selected item (session,
window, pane) or on tagged items (key ':');
- displayed items may be filtered in tree mode by using a format (this
is used to implement find-window) (key 'f');
- the custom format (-F) for the display is no longer available;
- shortcut keys change from 0-9, a-z, A-Z which was always a bit weird
with keys used for other uses to 0-9, M-a to M-z.
Now that the code is simpler, other improvements will come later.
Primary key bindings for each mode are documented under the commands in
the man page (choose-buffer, choose-client, choose-tree).

copy mode), then look the key up in the table and fire any command
instead of delivering the key to the pane directly where it will be
ignored. This makes C-b C-b (send-prefix) work in copy mode again.

much data we send during redraw (we know we will be starting with 0) and
skip the check until it has been flushed. GitHub issue 912.
xterm-keys by default, generates \033[1;3A instead of
\033\033[OA. Unfortunately this confuses vi, which doesn't understand
xterm keys and now sees Escape+Up pressed within escape-time as Escape
followed by A.
The issue doesn't happen in xterm itself because it gets the keys from X
and can distinguish between a genuine M-Up and Escape+Up.
Because xterm can, tmux can too: xterm will give us \033[1;3A (that is,
kUP3) for a real M-Up and \033\033OA for Escape+Up - in fact, we can be
sure any \033 preceding an xterm key is a real Escape key press because
Meta would be part of the xterm key instead of a separate \033.
So change tmux to recognise both sequences as M-Up for its own purposes,
but generate the xterm version of M-Up only if it originally received
the xterm version from the terminal.
This means we will return to sending \033\033OA instead of the xterm key
for terminals that do not support xterm keys themselves, but there is no
practical way around this because they do not allow us to distinguish
between Escape+Up and M-Up. xterm style escape sequences are now the de
facto standard for these keys in any case.

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.
