This adds 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. 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).
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-width -x or -y.
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 higher memory use if you make a window that big. The
minimum size is the size required for the current layout including
borders.
This change allows some code improvements, most notably that since
windows can now never be cropped, that code can be removed from the
layout code, and since panes can now never be outside the size of the
window, window_pane_visible can be removed.
Welcome to tmux!
tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be created,
accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a
screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.
This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, OS X and Solaris.
tmux depends on libevent 2.x. Download it from:
http://libevent.org
It also depends on ncurses, available from:
http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/
To build and install tmux from a release tarball, use:
$ ./configure && make
$ sudo make install
tmux can use the utempter library to update utmp(5), if it is installed - run
configure with --enable-utempter to enable this.
To get and build the latest from version control:
$ git clone https://github.com/tmux/tmux.git
$ cd tmux
$ sh autogen.sh
$ ./configure && make
(Note that this requires at least a working C compiler, make, autoconf,
automake, pkg-config as well as libevent and ncurses libraries and headers.)
For more information see http://git-scm.com. Patches should be sent by email to
the mailing list at tmux-users@googlegroups.com or submitted through GitHub at
https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues.
For documentation on using tmux, see the tmux.1 manpage. It can be viewed from
the source tree with:
$ nroff -mdoc tmux.1|less
A small example configuration in example_tmux.conf.
And a bash(1) completion file at:
https://github.com/imomaliev/tmux-bash-completion
For debugging, running tmux with -v or -vv will generate server and client log
files in the current directory.
tmux mailing lists are available. For general discussion and bug reports:
