Using the alternative screen (smcup/rmcup) should also preserve the current
colours and attributes. Found thanks to a report from Taylor Venable.
While here also nuke a couple of extra blank lines.
If colours are not supported by the terminal, try to emulate a coloured
background by setting or clearing the reverse attribute.
This makes a few applications which don't use the reverse attribute themselves
a little happier, and allows the status, message and mode options to have
default attributes and fg/bg options that work as expected when set as reverse.
Don't try to free old string values (and crash) when they are overridden unless
they were actually found in the source terminal description. Reported by jmc.
Add a terminal-overrides session option allowing individual terminfo(5) entries
to be overridden. The 88col/256col checks are now moved into the default
setting and out of the code.
Also remove a couple of old workarounds for xterm and rxvt which are no longer
necessary (tmux can emulate them if missing).
on Linux use -lncurses instead of -lcurses.
Also use -lncurses on NetBSD because they are only now realising that
supporting the 20-year-old terminfo API in their libcurses might be nice, and
so far none of the releases do.
There aren't many client message types or code to handle them so get rid of
the lookup table and use a switch, merge the tiny handler functions into it,
and move the whole lot to client.c.
Also change client_msg_dispatch to consume as many messages as possible and
move the call to it to the right place so it checks for signals afterwards.
Prompted by suggestions from eric@.
Merge pane number into the target specification for pane commands. Instead of
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.
Add an additional heuristic to work out the current session when run from the
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.
