d7de29e1e5 Minor language tweaks, change which key bindings are summarised. 2009-08-09 15:25:56 +00:00
Nicholas Marriott
57381aa560 Move the key bindings section to near the start, mention attach/detach in the
first section, and another couple of tweaks. Based on a diff from Theo.

6491274f60 Infrastructure and commands to manage the environment for processes started
within tmux.

There is a global environment, copied from the external environment when the
server is started and each sesssion has an (initially empty) session
environment which overrides it.

New commands set-environment and show-environment manipulate or display the
environments.

A new session option, update-environment, is a space-separated list of
variables which are updated from the external environment into the session
environment every time a new session is created - the default is DISPLAY.

e89e70e715 If there is an error in the configuration file, don't just exit(1) as this can
cause the client to hang. Instead, send the error message, then mark the client
as bad and start a normal shutdown so the server exits once the error is
written.

This also allows some code duplicating daemon(3) to be trimmed and logging to
begin earlier.

Prompted by Theo noticing the behaviour on error wasn't documented.

1673735f02 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).

071494d8fa 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.

f7df0bac96 Tidy the target parsing code a bit and correct the behaviour so that as before
a string with no colon as a target window is first looked up as a window then
as a session, noted by Iain Morgan.

page.

6036bdd06c Improved layout code.
Each window now has a tree of layout cells associated with it. In this tree,
each node is either a horizontal or vertical cell containing a list of other
cells running from left-to-right or top-to-bottom, or a leaf cell which is
associated with a pane.

The major functional changes are:

- panes may now be split arbitrarily both horizontally (splitw -h, C-b %) and
  vertically (splitw -v, C-b ");
- panes may be resized both horizontally and vertically (resizep -L/-R/-U/-D,
  bound to C-b left/right/up/down and C-b M-left/right/up/down);
- layouts are now applied and then may be modified by resizing or splitting
  panes, rather than being fixed and reapplied when the window is resized or
  panes are added;
- manual-vertical layout is no longer necessary, and active-only layout is gone
  (but may return in future);
- the main-pane layouts now reduce the size of the main pane to fit all panes
  if possible.

Thanks to all who tested.

fc6a65c620 Add three new session options: visual-activity, visual-bell, visual-content. If
these are enabled (and the monitor-activity, bell-actio and monitor-content
options are configurated appropriately), when activity, a bell, or content is
detected, a message is shown.

Also tidy up the bell/activity/content code in server.c slightly and fix a
couple of errors.

6f5150a943 - New command display-message (alias display) to display a message in the
status line (bound to "i" and displays the current window and time by
  default). The same substitutions are applied as for status-left/right.
- Add support for including the window index (#I), pane index (#P) and window
  name (#W) in the message, and status-left or status-right.
- Bump protocol version.

023d8d38ec Tidy up and improve target (-t) argument parsing:
- move the code back into cmd.c and merge with the existing functions where
  possible;
- accept "-tttyp0" as well as "-t/dev/ttyp0" for clients;
- when looking up session names, try an exact match first, and if that fails
  look for it as an fnmatch pattern and then as the start of a name - if more
  that one session matches an error is given; so if there is one session called
  "mysession", -tmysession, -tmysess, -tmysess* are equivalent but if there
  is also "mysession2", the last two are errors;
- similarly for windows, if the argument is not a valid index or exact window
  name match, try it against the window names as an fnmatch pattern and a
  prefix.

2f7198246e When pasting, translate \n into \r. This matches xterm and putty's behaviour,

084d07f4eb Just appending -l to $SHELL to create a login shell is wrong: -l is not POSIX,
and some people may use shells which do not support it. Instead, make an empty
default-command option mean a login shell, and fork it with a - in argv[0]
which is the method used by login(1).

Also fix the automatic-rename code to handle this correctly and to strip a
leading - if present.
