tmux/TODO
Nicholas Marriott 1e574bb70c Get rid of the PANE_HIDDEN flag in favour of a function, and moving the
decision for whether or not a pane should be drawn out of the layout code and
into the redraw code.

This is needed for the new layout design, getting it in now to make that easier
to work on.

- window creation/idle time
- could use bsearch all over the place or get rid of smaller tables (clientmsg)
- better errors when creating new windows/sessions (how?)
- implicitly add exec to the commands for new windows (switch to disable it)?
- it would be nice to have multichar commands eg C-b K K
- commands:
extend list-clients to list clients attached to a session (-a for all?)
bring back detach-session to detach all clients on a session?
- allow fnmatch for -c, so that you can, eg, detach all clients
- bind non prefix keys
- garbage collect window history (100 lines at a time?) if it hasn't been used
in $x time (need window creation/use times)
- lift SHRT_MAX limits for history?
- audit copy/scroll and other modes for problems with very small windows
- better mode features: search, back word, forward word, etc
- flags to centre screen in window
- better terminal emulation (identify, insert mode, some other bits)
- audit for leftover/unused code
- activity/bell should be per-window not per-link? what if it is cur win in
session not being watched?
- tidy up window modes
- next prev word etc in command prompt; also ^K
- many more info() displays for various things
- vi half page scroll
- backspace should perhaps wrap backwards over newlines which were not moved
down by a newline: screen and the OS X terminal does this but xterm and most
others do not. this might be hard: a flag for each grid line (top bit of size
maybe)? a single flag is insufficient as can't then tell when to /stop/
unwrapping
- input.c is too complicated. simplify?
- use a better termcap internally instead of screen, perhaps xterm
- kill all but current pane
- fix rxvt cursor fg issue (text under cursor can have non-white fg)
- key handling sucks a bit and may need to be reworked
- some people find first window being 0 rather than 1 is awkward on the
keyboard
- client sx/sy should be in tty, then can let the terminal wrap at edge
to allow xterm to pick up it should be one line for its c/p
- should be able to move to a hidden pane and it would be moved into view. pane
number in status line/top-right would be cool for this
- command to run something without a window at all - output to
window-more. what for? isnt this the same as doing it w/ splitw/neww now?
- would be nice if tmux could be the shell (tmux attach, but hard link to tmux
binary as "tmuxsh" or wrapper script?) problems with tty dev permissions
- support other mouse modes (highlight etc) and use it in copy mode
- set-remain-on-exit is a bit of a hack, some way to do it generically?
- set-option should be set-session-option and should be overall global options
for stuff like mode keys?
also quiet, utf8 and maybe other flags?
-g is a bit unexpected in conf file
- clear window title on exit
- refer to windows by name etc (duplicates? fnmatch?)
- the output code (tty.c) could do with optimisation depending on term
capibilities
- would be nice to be able to use "--" to mark start of command w/ neww etc
to avoid quoting
- goto line and search history in copy/scroll modes
- a command to display the status line briefly when it is turned off
- clone session command
- make command sequences more usable: don't require space after ;, handle
errors better
- might be nice if attach-session behaved like switch-client inside an
existing client
- key to switch to copy mode from scroll mode
- attach should have a flag to create session if it doesn't exist
- layout/split stuff:
** NEW layout design:
1. finish rewrite manual with tree of layout_cell
2. convert automatic layout modes to produce a tree and make
them one-off operations
3. move any size/position details from window_pane to layout_cell
3.5. fix -p/-l on split
4. a way to address panes by name ("top-left") and position ("0,0")
TO TEST: force-width/height OK, respawn-window, rotate-window OK, break-pane??
** rename split-window -> split-pane
- fix UTF-8 guesswork on sparc64, improve tty checks
- choice and more mode would be better per client than per window?
- some way to force a screen to use the entire terminal even if it is forced
to be smaller by other clients. pan smaller terminal? (like screen F)
- close/redirect stderr when popen to child proc for #() in status line
- hooks to which commands may be attached, for example:
tmux add-hook "new-session" if-shell "[ -e $HOME/.tmux-session.conf ]" source-file $HOME/.tmux-session.conf
- get it passing all the vttest tests that don't require resizing the terminal
- does tmux require a exmple conf? where does it go?
- there are an awful lot of commands. maybe separate man page for conf
file/commands -similar to ssh/ssh_config?
- esc seq to set window title should be documented and should set automatic-rename
- *** get rid of PANE_HIDDEN -- initially just check for outside window
- way to set socket path from config file
- the "window with one pane" vs window distinction is weird, eg you can't kill-pane the last pane
- status-active-fg/bg/attr would be nice to highlight active window, as would options to set
the highlight stuff
- XXX once env stuff is in, default-path and VISUAL/EDITOR should be picked up when session is started
- the copy mode next-word behaviour is emacs style (end of word) rather than vi style (start of word) even in vi keys mode,
- when moving up from a blank line in copy mode it always assumes you were at the end of the line so it can be a bit funny. should remember last non-blank x position and use that
- paste-buffer etc should be able to handle \0, so needs a size member and no more strlen
- is utf8 a valid charset in LANG? also check for "unicode" in TERM
- what about utmp etc? can tmux update it like screen? setgid?
- option to show bells visually
- window-status command to show current window info in status line
- H/M/L commands in copy mode with vi-keys, for jumping to the top/middle/last line on the screen
- if the server is started with IDENTIFY_UTF8 then set the global utf8 option?
- I think there are potential leaks in the prompt code if a new prompt is created without the
callback for the old being cleared; this might be quite hard to hit, lock-server seems the only
candidate
- tidy up and prioritise todo list ;-)
