This adds 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. 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).
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-width -x or -y.
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 higher memory use if you make a window that big. The
minimum size is the size required for the current layout including
borders.
This change allows some code improvements, most notably that since
windows can now never be cropped, that code can be removed from the
layout code, and since panes can now never be outside the size of the
window, window_pane_visible can be removed.
- remove the bell-on-alert option;
- add activity-action and silence-action options with the same possible
values as the existing bell-action;
- add "both" value for the visual-bell, visual-activity and
visual-silence options to trigger both a bell and a message.
This means all three work the same way. Based on changes from Yvain Thonnart.
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).

commands this pushes more of the code into options.c and ties it more
closely to the options table rather than having an unnecessary
split. Also add support for array options (will be used later). Only
(intentional) user visible change is that show-options output is now
passed through vis(3) with VIS_DQ so quotes are escaped.
generate xterm(1) escape sequences for function keys with modifiers.
With the option off most of these keys are ignored by default, except
for ctrl + arrows which use a variant that nothing else seems to use and
I don't remember why we chose. The xterm escape sequences are now the
most common.
Prompted by a question from mpi@.
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.
Based on a diff sent long ago by Jonathan Slenders, mostly rewritten and
simplified by me.
