- command bits and pieces:
 | 
						|
	* allow multiple targets: fnmatch for -t/-c, for example detach all
 | 
						|
	  clients with -t*
 | 
						|
	* add -c for new-session like new-window
 | 
						|
	* ' and " should be parsed the same (eg "\e" vs '\e') in config
 | 
						|
	  and command prompt
 | 
						|
	* last-pane across sessions
 | 
						|
	* list-keys should quote output so that bindings can just be used in
 | 
						|
          config file as-is
 | 
						|
	* resize-pane -p to match split-window -p
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- make command sequences more usable
 | 
						|
	* don't require space after ;
 | 
						|
	* options for error handling: && and ||?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- options bits and pieces:
 | 
						|
	* way to set socket path from config file
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- format improvements:
 | 
						|
	* option to quote format (#{q:session_name})
 | 
						|
	* some way to pad # stuff with spaces
 | 
						|
	* formats to show if a window is linked into multiple sessions, into
 | 
						|
	  multiple attached sessions, and is the active window in multiple
 | 
						|
	  attached sessions?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- 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?
 | 
						|
	* two choices (first one then second, for swap-pane and join-pane)
 | 
						|
	* choose modes should ditch the key bindings and just have fixed keys, and
 | 
						|
          be more customized to their purpose (d to delete a buffer for choose-buffer,
 | 
						|
          a preview of buffer contents, etc)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- 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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- improve mouse support:
 | 
						|
	* bind commands to mouse in different areas? 
 | 
						|
	* commands executed when clicking on a pattern (URL)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- warts on current naming:
 | 
						|
	* display-time but message-fg/bg/attr
 | 
						|
	* list-* vs show-*
 | 
						|
	* split-window -> split-pane?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- better UTF-8 support:
 | 
						|
	* message display
 | 
						|
	* searching in copy mode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- copy/paste improvements:
 | 
						|
	* incremental searching
 | 
						|
	* paste w/o trailing whitespace
 | 
						|
	* command to toggle selection not to move it in copy-mode
 | 
						|
	* regex searching
 | 
						|
	* copy-pipe should have -x as well
 | 
						|
	* searching in copy mode should unwrap lines, so if you search for "foobar"
 | 
						|
          then it should be found even if it is now "foo\nbar" (if the WRAP flag
 | 
						|
          is set on the line)
 | 
						|
	* capture-pane option to preserve spaces but not join lines
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- layout stuff
 | 
						|
	* way to tag a layout as a number/name
 | 
						|
	* maybe keep last layout + size around and if size reverts just put it
 | 
						|
	  back
 | 
						|
	* 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
 | 
						|
	* way to set hints/limits about pane size for resizing
 | 
						|
	* panning over window (window larger than visible)
 | 
						|
	* a mode where one application can cross two panes (ie x|y, width =
 | 
						|
	  COLUMNS/2 but height = ROWS * 2)
 | 
						|
	* separate active panes for different clients
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- terminfo bits
 | 
						|
	* use a better termcap internally instead of screen, perhaps xterm
 | 
						|
	* use screen-256color when started on 256 colour terminal?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- code cleanup
 | 
						|
	* 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.
 | 
						|
          problem: what about windows in multiple sessions? there are contexts
 | 
						|
          where we do not know which session, or where multiple choices makes
 | 
						|
          no sense
 | 
						|
	* the way pane, window, session destroy is handled is too complicated
 | 
						|
	  and the distinction between session.c, window.c and server-fn.c
 | 
						|
	  functions is not clear. could we just have kill_pane(),
 | 
						|
	  kill_window(), unlink_window(), kill_session() that fix up all data
 | 
						|
	  structures (flagging sessions as dead) and return a value to say
 | 
						|
	  whether clients need to be checked for dead sessions? sort of like
 | 
						|
	  session_detach now but more so. or some other scheme to make it
 | 
						|
	  simpler and clearer? also would be nice to remove/rename server-fn.c
 | 
						|
	* more readable way to work out the various things commands need to
 | 
						|
	  know about the client, notably:
 | 
						|
		- is this the config file? (cmdq->c == NULL)
 | 
						|
		- is this a command client? (cmdq->c != NULL &&
 | 
						|
		  cmdq->c->session == NULL)
 | 
						|
		- is this a control client?
 | 
						|
		- can i do stdin or stdout to this client?
 | 
						|
	  or even guarantee that cmdq->c != NULL and provide a better way to
 | 
						|
	  tell when in the config file - then we use cmdq->c if we need a
 | 
						|
	  client w/o a session else cmd_current_client
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- miscellaneous
 | 
						|
	* way to keep a job running just read its last line of output for #()
 | 
						|
	* link panes into multiple windows
 | 
						|
	* 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. likewise, panes and
 | 
						|
	  jobs and run-shell and lock command all start with slightly different
 | 
						|
	  environments
 | 
						|
	* multiline status line? separate command prompt and status line?
 | 
						|
	* customizable command aliases -- don't really want a whole alias tree
 | 
						|
          and set-alias commands like hooks/options/environ. maybe array
 | 
						|
          options, so you set command-alias[0] to foo=bar? array options would
 | 
						|
          be useful for other stuff
 | 
						|
	* automatic pane logging
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- hooks
 | 
						|
	* more hooks for various things
 | 
						|
	* finish after hooks for special commands
 | 
						|
	* multiple hooks with the same name?
 | 
						|
	* finish hooks for notifys
 | 
						|
	* for session_closed, if no sessions at all, perhaps fake up a temporary one
 |
