together instead of handling them one by one. This is significantly
faster. Sequences are terminated when we reach the end of the line, fill
the internal buffer, or a different character is seen by the input
parser (an escape sequence, or UTF-8).
Rather than writing collected sequences out immediately, hold them until
it is necessary (another screen modification, or we consume all
available data). This means we can discard changes that would have no
effect (for example, lines that would just be scrolled off the screen or
cleared). This reduces the total amount of data we write out to the
terminal - not important for fast terminals, but a big help with slow
(like xterm).
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.
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.

cell flags, convert to use an int with flags marking 256 or RGB colours
in the top byte (except in cells, which we don't want to make any
bigger). From Brad Town.
wasting unnecessary space. The 'Tc' flag must be set in the external
TERM entry (using terminal-overrides or a custom terminfo entry), if not
tmux will map to the closest of the 256 or 16 colour palettes.
Mostly from Suraj N Kurapati, based on a diff originally by someone else.
poor idea that was fairly quickly replaced by SGR mouse input (which is
now widespread). It is impossible to tell the difference between UTF-8
and non-UTF-8 mouse input; since the mouse-utf8 option was removed tmux
has not handled it correctly in any case; and it is ridiculous to have
three different forms of mouse input.
of storing a full grid_cell with UTF-8 data and everything, store a new
type grid_cell_entry. This can either be the cell itself (for ASCII
cells), or an offset into an extended array (per line) for UTF-8
data.
This avoid a large (8 byte) overhead on non-UTF-8 cells (by far the
majority for most users) without the complexity of the shadow array we
had before. Grid memory without any UTF-8 is about half.
The disadvantage that cells can no longer be modified in place and need
to be copied out of the grid and back but it turned out to be lot less
complicated than I expected.
certain C0 sequences (linefeeds, backspaces, carriage returns) and if it
exceeds a threshold (current default 50/millisecond), start to redraw
the pane every 100 milliseconds instead of making each change as it
comes. Two configuration options - c0-change-trigger and
c0-change-interval.
This makes tmux much more responsive under very fast output (for example
yes(1) or accidentally cat'ing a large file) but may not be perfect on
all terminals and connections - feedback very welcome, particularly
where this change has a negative rather than positive effect (making it
off by default is a possibility).
After much experimentation based originally on a request Robin Lee
Powell (which ended with a completely different solution), this idea
from discussion with Ailin Nemui.
this is used and the application has requested bracketed pastes, then
tmux surrounds the pasted text by \033[200~ and \033[201~. Applications
like vim can (apparently) use this to avoid, for example, indenting the
text. From Ailin Nemui.
using DCS with a "tmux;" prefix. Escape characters in the sequences must
be doubled. For example:
$ printf '\033Ptmux;\033\033]12;red\007\033\\'
Will pass \033]12;red\007 to the terminal (and change the cursor colour
in xterm). From Kevin Goodsell.
and supports larger terminals than the older way.
If the new mouse-utf8 option is on, UTF-8 mouse input is enabled for all
UTF-8 terminals. The option defaults to on if LANG etc are set in the
same manner as the utf8 option.
With help and based on code from hsim at gmx.li.
Get rid of passing around u_char[4]s and define a struct utf8_data which has
character data, size (sequence length) and width. Move UTF-8 character
collection into two functions utf8_open/utf8_append in utf8.c which fill in
this struct and use these functions from input.c and the various functions in
screen-write.c.
Space for rather more data than is necessary for one UTF-8 sequence is in the
utf8_data struct because screen_write_copy is still nasty and needs to reinject
the character (after combining) into screen_write_cell.
wrapped, move the cursor back up to the end of the previous line.
Another one of the forgotten persons requested this quite a while ago (I need
to start noting names on todo items...) when it was quite hard to
implement. Now it is easy and I don't see it can do any harm, so hey presto...
