an overlay and treat it like the active pane (use for commands which
move the cursor only). When there is an overlay also use it for all
panes and not just the active pane. GitHub issue 2826.
everything up in tty_ctx. Provide a way to initialize the tty_ctx from a
callback and use it to let popups draw directly through input_parse in
the same way as panes do, rather than forcing a full redraw on every
change.
- Add styles for the search marking styles (copy-mode-match-style and
copy-mode-current-match-style).
- Show the current match (the one with the cursor on it) in a different style.
- Copying without a selection will copy the current match if there is one.
changes to allow the status line to be entirely configured with a single
option.
Now that it is possible to configure their content, enable the existing
code that lets the status line be multiple lines in height. The status
option can now take a value of 2, 3, 4 or 5 (as well as the previous on
or off) to configure more than one line. The new status-format array
option configures the format of each line, the default just references
the existing status-* options, although some of the more obscure status
options may be eliminated in time.
Additions to the #[] syntax are: "align" to specify alignment (left,
centre, right), "list" for the window list and "range" to configure
ranges of text for the mouse bindings.
The "align" keyword can also be used to specify alignment of entries in
tree mode and the pane status lines.
been a limitation for a long time.
There are 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. The default is
currently largest but this may change. 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). The
offset of the visible portion of the window is shown in status-right.
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-window
-x or -y, and "setw -u window-size" to revert to automatic sizing..
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 much higher memory use if making a window excessively
big. The minimum size is the size required for the current layout
including borders.
The refresh-client command can be used to pan around a window, -U -D -L
-R moves up, down, left or right and -c returns to automatic cursor
tracking. The position is reset when the current window is changed.
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).

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).
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.
