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).

if the pane is zoomed, so instead add a new function to just check if
the pane is actually on screen (most commands still want to accept panes
invisible by zoom). Also reject panes outside the window for various
special targets. Problem reported by Sean Haugh.
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).
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.
Mostly written by Sean Haugh.
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.
into the read callback several times in succession; swap back when we
see empty buffers several times. This hopefully limits how much programs
that print a lot for a long period can monopolize tmux (like large, fast
compiling), without penalizing programs that print a lot briefly (like
most curses applications). Helps a lot for me, the actual numbers may
need tweaking later.
if needed, so it disables reading from the pane. This can be problem
with some programs. So make tmux automatically exit all modes after 180
seconds of inactivity and if there is pending output.
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.
uint64_t and converting UTF-8 to Unicode on input and the reverse on
output. (This allows key bindings, there are still omissions - the
largest being that the various prompts do not accept UTF-8.)
around, we can't use file descriptors for the working directory because
we will be unable to pass it to a privileged process to tell it where to
read or write files or spawn children. So move tmux back to using
strings for the current working directory. We try to check it exists
with access() when it is set but ultimately fall back to ~ if it fails
at time of use (or / if that fails too).
the main loop after events that may have changed the pane, but do so at
most once every 500 millis. If the pane changed too soon, use a timer to
ensure that a check happens later.
can't do the name check every loop, because that is too expensive, and
we can't make sure it only happens infrequently because we have no idea
when the next change will happen.
but that can only happen when we have already been woken up by a read
event, so there is no need for a timer, we can just check the changed
flag on the end of that read event (we already loop over the windows to
check for bells etc anyway).
a notification which will get confused because the reference count is
already zero and end up back in window_destroy and a double
free. Instead, just destroy the layouts directly. Noticed by Thomas
Adam.
server at a time; it may be toggled or cleared with select-pane -m and
-M (the border is highlighted). A new target '~' or '{marked}' specifies
the marked pane to commands and it is the default target for the
swap-pane and join-pane -s flag (this makes them much simpler to use -
mark the source pane and then change to the target pane to run swapp or
joinp).
multiple times, also remove the default space in window_flags and use a
conditional to add it in window-status-format (this means additional
flags can be added in the option without extra spaces). From Thomas Adam
with tweaks by me.
options for "mouse-this" and "mouse-that", mouse events may be bound as
keys and there is one option "mouse" that turns on mouse support
entirely (set -g mouse on).
See the new MOUSE SUPPORT section of the man page for description of the
key names and new flags (-t= to specify the pane or window under mouse
as a target, and send-keys -M to pass through a mouse event).
The default builtin bindings for the mouse are:
bind -n MouseDown1Pane select-pane -t=; send-keys -M
bind -n MouseDown1Status select-window -t=
bind -n MouseDrag1Pane copy-mode -M
bind -n MouseDrag1Border resize-pane -M
To get the effect of turning mode-mouse off, do:
unbind -n MouseDrag1Pane
unbind -temacs-copy MouseDrag1Pane
The old mouse options are now gone, set-option -q may be used to
suppress warnings if mixing configuration files.
split-window, respawn-window or respawn-pane, pass them directly to
execvp() to help avoid quoting problems. One argument still goes to "sh
-c" like before. Requested by many over the years. Patch from J Raynor.
irritating flaws:
a) The old way of always using the top or left if the choice is
ambiguous is annoying when the layout is unbalanced.
b) The new way of remembering the last used pane is annoying if the
layout is balanced and the leftmost is obvious to the user (because
clearly if we go right from the top-left in a tiled set of four we want
to end up in top-right, even if we were last using the bottom-right).
So instead, use a combination of both: if there is only one possible
pane alongside the current pane, move to it, otherwise choose the most
recently used of the choice.
options with a single foo-style option. For example:
set -g status-fg yellow
set -g status-bg red
set -g status-attr blink
Becomes:
set -g status-style fg=yellow,bg=red,blink
The -a flag to set can be used to add to rather than replace a style. So:
set -g status-bg red
Becomes:
set -ag status-style bg=red
Currently this is fully backwards compatible (all *-{fg,bg,attr} options
remain) but the plan is to deprecate them over time.

descriptors rather than strings.
- Each session still has a current working directory.
- New sessions still get their working directory from the client that
created them or its attached session if any.
- New windows are created by default in the session working directory.
- The -c flag to new, neww, splitw allows the working directory to be
overridden.
- The -c flag to attach let's the session working directory be changed.
- The default-path option has been removed.
To get the equivalent to default-path '.', do:
bind c neww -c $PWD
To get the equivalent of default-path '~', do:
bind c neww -c ~
This also changes the client identify protocol to be a set of messages rather
than one as well as some other changes that should make it easier to make
backwards-compatible protocol changes in future.
When clearing WINLINK_ALERTFLAGS for all sessions, we must also, for
that window, clear the window->flags as well, otherwise sessions may
well still see flags for winlinks long since cleared.
This therefore introduces WINDOW_ALERTFLAGS to help with this.

window or unzoom (restored to the normal layout) if it already zoomed,
bound to C-b z by default. The pane is unzoomed on pretty much any
excuse whatsoever.
We considered making this a new layout but the requirements are quite
different from layouts so decided it is better as a special case. Each
current layout cell is saved, a temporary one-cell layout generated and
all except the active pane set to NULL.
Prompted by suggestions and scripts from several. Thanks to Aaron Jensen
and Thiago Padilha for testing an earlier version.
