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.
and the previous restored when the top is exited. If a mode that is

top as the active mode rather than being opened new.
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.

don't skip setting the redraw flag if the timer is already running.

the existing resize timer to introduce a small delay between the two
resizes.
unchanged, because it may have changed and changed back in the time
between us getting the signal and calling ioctl(). Always redraw when we
see SIGWINCH.
until the end of the server loop, tmux may have gone through several
internal resizes in between. This can be a problem if the final size is
the same as the initial size (what the application things it currently
is), because the application may choose not to redraw, assuming the
screen state is unchanged, when in fact tmux has thrown away parts of
the screen, assuming the application will redraw them.
To avoid this, do an extra resize if the new size is the same size as
the initial size. This should force the application to redraw when tmux
needs it to, while retaining the benefits of deferring (so we now resize
at most two times instead of at most one - and only two very rarely).

Mazurek.

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.

command. This is used for the session, window and pane for all commands
in the command sequence if there is no -t or -s.
However, using it for all commands in the command sequence means that if
the active pane or current session is changed, subsequent commands still
use the previous state. So make commands which explicitly change the
current state (such as neww and selectp) update it themselves for later
commands. Commands which may invalidate the state (like killp) are
already OK because an invalid state will be ignored.
Also fill in the current state for all key bindings rather than just the
mouse, so that any omissions are easier to spot.
will suppress root key table bindings. So change to always check the
root table if no binding is found in the current table (whether it be
the prefix table from pressing the prefix or the copy mode table from a
pane).
A root key binding can be blocked by binding the key to a command that
does nothing (like send-keys with no arguments).

reasonable amount (currently width * height * 8 bytes), discard all
output to the terminal and start trying to redraw periodically
instead. Continue with this until the amount of data we are trying to
write falls to a low level again.
This helps to prevent tmux sitting on a huge buffer of data when there
are processes with fast output running inside tmux but the outside
terminal is slow.
A new client_discarded format holds the amount of data that has been
discarded due to this mechanism.
The three variables (when to start this, when to stop, and how often to
redraw) are basically "works for me" at the moment, this is going in to
see how it goes and if it causes problems for anyone else.
with of the terminal scrolls, tmux needs to redraw the entire pane. This
results in a large amount of output data which can cause slow terminals
to struggle, particularly when many lines are scrolled together quickly.
This can be reduced by only redrawing when tmux doesn't hold any
buffered data for the terminal. If a redraw is required and data is
buffered, the redraw is deferred until all that data is consumed (it is
checked after every event loop, a timer is used to ensure this happens
at some point). While a redraw is pending, no additional data will be
written to the terminal.
The redraw still happens, now it is just pushed back if it is possible
it would just add more data on top of a terminal that is already
behind. This both gives the terminal a chance to catch up, and allows
tmux to process more scrolling (that would require additional redraws)
in the meantime.

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.
main issue is that if we have two panes, A with 1002 and B with 1003, we
need to set 1003 outside tmux in order to get all the mouse events, but
then we need to suppress the ones that pane A doesn't want. This is easy
in SGR mouse mode, because buttons == 3 is only used for movement events
(for other events the trailing m/M marks a release instead), but in
normal mouse mode we can't tell so easily. So for that, look at the
previous event instead - if it is drag+release as well, then the current
event is a movement event.
so too early, before the mouse event was necessarily valid, so could end
up using the pane from the previous mouse event, or the active pane.
It is important that we use the right pane now that different panes can
have different key tables (for copy mode).

supports them (that is, if it advertises itself as a VT420 - probably
just xterm). These are the vertical equivalent of the scroll region and
allow much faster scrolling of panes that do not take up the full width
of the terminal.
add a link of winlinks to each window and a pointer to the session to
each winlink. Also rewrite the alerts processing to return to the old
behaviour (alert in any window sets the flag on any winlink).
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.

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.
