- command bits and pieces: * use "--" to mark start of command w/ neww etc to avoid quoting * why doesn't command-prompt work if made read-only? * allow multiple targets: fnmatch for -t/-c, for example detach all clients with -t* * add -c for new-session like new-window * attach should take a pane and select it as well as attaching * ' and " should be parsed the same (eg "\e" vs '\e') in config and command prompt * last-pane across sessions - make command sequences more usable * don't require space after ; * options for error handling: && and ||? - options bits and pieces: * set-remain-on-exit is a complete hack * way to set socket path from config file - format improvements: * option to quote format (#{session_name:quoted}) * formats need conditions for >0 (for #P) * some way to pad # stuff with spaces, #!2T maybe * status stuff is redundant with formats - choose mode improvements: * choose-pane command (augment choose-tree to do this?) * choose-mode and copy-mode are very similar, make choose-mode a subset? * flag to choose-* for sort order * choose mode would be better per client than per window - improve monitor-*: * straighten out rules for multiple clients * think about what happens across sessions * monitor changes within a region * perhaps monitor /all/ panes in the window not just one - panning over window (window larger than visible) - link panes into multiple windows - improve mouse support: * bind commands to mouse in different areas? * more fine-grained options * commands executed when clicking on a pattern (URL) - hooks! - warts on current naming: * display-time but message-fg/bg/attr * list-* vs show-* * server-info * split-window -> split-pane?? - way to keep a job running just read its last line of output for #() - better UTF-8 support: * #22T can split in the middle of UTF-8 characters! * window names and titles * message display * prompt input * multibyte key input - live update: server started with -U connects to server, requests sessions and windows, receives file descriptors - there are inconsistencies in what we get from old shell and what comes from config for new sessions and windows - multiline status line? - support title stack, both internally and externally (restore on detach) http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1149299+0+archive/2010/freebsd-questions/20100207.freebsd-questions - last window update time and format for it - bind commands to key sequences -- make it so ALL keys go through a table, first an implicit table in which C-b is the only default binding to a command that says "next key from $othertable" and so on. means -n can go away as well - copy/paste improvements: * case insensitive searching * incremental searching * append to buffer * paste w/o trailing whitespace * named buffers and allow gaps in the stack * command to toggle selection not to move it in copy-mode - mouse-select-pane will screw up with !MODE_MOUSE_STANDARD (it sets the flag on w/o checking the others before calling tty_update_mode) - panes should have names like windows - way to tag a layout as a number/name - optimize pane redraws, 20120318184853.GK10965@yelena.nicm.ath.cx - instead of separate window and session options, just one master options list with each option having a type (window or session), then options on window, on session, and global. for window options we look window->session->global, and for session we look session->global - maybe keep last layout + size around and if size reverts just put it back - way to set hints/limits about pane size for resizing - revamp layouts: they are too complicated, should be more closely integrated, should support hints, layout sets should just be a special case of custom layouts, and we should support panes that are not attached to a cell at all. this could be the time to introduce panelink to replace layout_cell - use a better termcap internally instead of screen, perhaps xterm - use screen-256color when started on 256 colour terminal? - we need a tmux terminfo entry to document the extensions we are using in upstream terminfo
