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.
A mass rename of struct cmdq to a better name (cmdq_item probably) is
coming.
confusing, particularly trying to automatically figure out what target
hooks should be using. So simplify it:
- drop before hooks entirely, they don't seem to be very useful;
- commands with special requirements now fire their own after hook (for
example, if they change session or window, or if they have -t and -s
and need to choose which one the hook uses as current target);
- commands with no special requirements can have the CMD_AFTERHOOK flag
added and they will use the -t state.
At the moment new-session, new-window, split-window fire their own hook,
and display-message uses the flag. The remaining commands still need to
be looked at.
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.

- Prepare the state again before the "after" hooks are run, because the
command may have killed or moved windows.
- Use the hooks list from the newly prepared target, not the old hooks
list (only matters for new-session really).
- Correctly detect an invalid current state and ignore it in
cmd_find_target ("killw; swapw").
- Change neww, new, killp, killw, splitw, swapp, swapw to update the
current state (used if no explicit target is given) to something more
useful after they have finished. For example, neww changes it to the
newly created window.
Hooks are still relatively new and primitive so there are likely to be
more changes to come.

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.
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.
instead track them as change (dirty) and update them once at the end,
saves much time if repeatedly writing the same cell. Also fix comparison
of cells being equal in a few places (memcmp is not enough).
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.
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.
the state (client, session, winlink, pane) for it it before entering the
command. Each command provides some flags that tell the prepare step
what it is expecting.
This is a requirement for having hooks on commands (for example, if you
hook "select-window -t1:2", the hook command should to operate on window
1:2 not whatever it thinks is the current window), and should allow some
other target improvements.
The old cmd_find_* functions remain for the moment but that layer will
be dropped later.
Joint work with Thomas Adam.
from the parent (global) tree, instead make it remove by name like options.
While here, also tidy up a few bits of options and hooks handling (use
RB_FOREACH_SAFE, and a helper function for the free).
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.
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).
#{=10:...} length limit, add #{t:...} to convert a time_t format to a
string, #{b:...} for basename and #{d:...} for dirname. Remove all the
foo_string time formats as they can now be replaced by "t:", for example
#{window_activity_string} becomes #{t:window_activity}.
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).
socketpair and setting it to -1 to mark when the other side is
closed. This avoids closing it while the libevent bufferevent still has
it (it could try to add it to the polled set which some mechanisms don't
like). Fixes part a problem reported by Bruno Sutic.
use event_once to queue a callback to deal with them. Also dead clients
with references would never actually be freed because the wrap-up
functions (the callback for stdin, or status_prompt_clear) would never
be called. So call them in server_client_lost.
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.
consistent but with much less duplication, but keeping the same internal
API. Also adds more readable aliases for some of the special tokens used
in targets (eg "{start}" instead of "^"). Some behaviours may have
changed, for example prefix matches now happen before fnmatch.
keys. The default key bindings become the "prefix" table and -n the
"root" table. Keys may be bound in new tables with bind -T and
switch-client -T used to specify the table in which the next key should
be looked up. Based on a diff from Keith Amling.
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.
directly with a helper function in the cmd_entry, include a table of
bind-key commands and pass them through the command parser and a
temporary cmd_q.
As well as being smaller, this will allow default bindings to be command
sequences which will probably be needed soon.

2. In emacs mode the selection includes the last character if you moved
the cursor to the left.
