.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a terminal multiplexer:
|
|
it enables a number of terminals to be created, accessed, and
|
|
controlled from a single screen.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may be detached from a screen
|
|
and continue running in the background,
|
|
then later reattached.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is started it creates a new
|
|
.Em session
|
|
with a single
|
|
.Em window
|
|
and displays it on screen.
|
|
A status line at the bottom of the screen
|
|
shows information on the current session
|
|
and is used to enter interactive commands.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A session is a single collection of
|
|
.Em pseudo terminals
|
|
under the management of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
Each session has one or more
|
|
windows linked to it.
|
|
A window occupies the entire screen
|
|
and may be split into rectangular panes,
|
|
each of which is a separate pseudo terminal
|
|
(the
|
|
.Xr pty 4
|
|
manual page documents the technical details of pseudo terminals).
|
|
Any number of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
instances may connect to the same session,
|
|
and any number of windows may be present in the same session.
|
|
Once all sessions are killed,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each session is persistent and will survive accidental disconnection
|
|
(such as
|
|
.Xr ssh 1
|
|
connection timeout) or intentional detaching (with the
|
|
.Ql C-b d
|
|
key strokes).
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may be reattached using:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl $ tmux attach
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
a session is displayed on screen by a
|
|
.Em client
|
|
and all sessions are managed by a single
|
|
.Em server .
|
|
The server and each client are separate processes which communicate through a
|
|
socket in
|
|
.Pa /tmp .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "XXXXXXXXXXXX"
|
|
.It Fl 2
|
|
Force
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to assume the terminal supports 256 colours.
|
|
.It Fl C
|
|
Start in control mode (see the
|
|
.Sx CONTROL MODE
|
|
section).
|
|
Given twice
|
|
.Xo ( Fl CC ) Xc
|
|
disables echo.
|
|
.It Fl c Ar shell-command
|
|
Execute
|
|
.Ar shell-command
|
|
using the default shell.
|
|
If necessary, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server will be started to retrieve the
|
|
.Ic default-shell
|
|
option.
|
|
This option is for compatibility with
|
|
.Xr sh 1
|
|
when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is used as a login shell.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar file
|
|
Specify an alternative configuration file.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
loads the system configuration file from
|
|
.Pa @SYSCONFDIR@/tmux.conf ,
|
|
if present, then looks for a user configuration file at
|
|
.Pa ~/.tmux.conf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The configuration file is a set of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands which are executed in sequence when the server is first started.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
loads configuration files once when the server process has started.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic source-file
|
|
command may be used to load a file later.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
shows any error messages from commands in configuration files in the first
|
|
session created, and continues to process the rest of the configuration file.
|
|
.It Fl L Ar socket-name
|
|
.Nm
|
|
stores the server socket in a directory under
|
|
.Ev TMUX_TMPDIR
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa /tmp
|
|
if it is unset.
|
|
The default socket is named
|
|
.Em default .
|
|
This option allows a different socket name to be specified, allowing several
|
|
independent
|
|
.Nm
|
|
servers to be run.
|
|
Unlike
|
|
.Fl S
|
|
a full path is not necessary: the sockets are all created in the same
|
|
directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the socket is accidentally removed, the
|
|
.Dv SIGUSR1
|
|
signal may be sent to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server process to recreate it (note that this will fail if any parent
|
|
directories are missing).
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Behave as a login shell.
|
|
This flag currently has no effect and is for compatibility with other shells
|
|
when using tmux as a login shell.
|
|
.It Fl S Ar socket-path
|
|
Specify a full alternative path to the server socket.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl S
|
|
is specified, the default socket directory is not used and any
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
flag is ignored.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
When starting,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
looks for the
|
|
.Ev LC_ALL ,
|
|
.Ev LC_CTYPE
|
|
and
|
|
.Ev LANG
|
|
environment variables: if the first found contains
|
|
.Ql UTF-8 ,
|
|
then the terminal is assumed to support UTF-8.
|
|
This is not always correct: the
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
flag explicitly informs
|
|
.Nm
|
|
that UTF-8 is supported.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
itself always accepts UTF-8; this controls whether it will send UTF-8
|
|
characters to the terminal it is running (if not, they are replaced by
|
|
.Ql _ ) .
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Request verbose logging.
|
|
This option may be specified multiple times for increasing verbosity.
|
|
Log messages will be saved into
|
|
.Pa tmux-client-PID.log
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa tmux-server-PID.log
|
|
files in the current directory, where
|
|
.Em PID
|
|
is the PID of the server or client process.
|
|
.It Fl V
|
|
Report the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
version.
|
|
.It Ar command Op Ar flags
|
|
This specifies one of a set of commands used to control
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
as described in the following sections.
|
|
If no commands are specified, the
|
|
.Ic new-session
|
|
command is assumed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh KEY BINDINGS

and
|
|
.Ic unbind-key
|
|
commands.
|
|
.Sh COMMANDS
|
|
This section contains a list of the commands supported by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
Most commands accept the optional
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
(and sometimes
|
|
.Fl s )
|
|
argument with one of
|
|
.Ar target-client ,
|
|
.Ar target-session
|
|
.Ar target-window ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar target-pane .
|
|
These specify the client, session, window or pane which a command should affect.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar target-client
|
|
is the name of the
|
|
.Xr pty 4
|
|
file to which the client is connected, for example either of
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyp1
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa ttyp1
|
|
for the client attached to
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyp1 .
|
|
If no client is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
attempts to work out the client currently in use; if that fails, an error is
|
|
reported.
|
|
Clients may be listed with the
|
|
.Ic list-clients
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar target-session
|
|
is tried as, in order:
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset Ds
|
|
.It
|
|
A session ID prefixed with a $.
|
|
.It
|
|
An exact name of a session (as listed by the
|
|
.Ic list-sessions
|
|
command).
|
|
.It
|
|
The start of a session name, for example
|
|
.Ql mysess
|
|
would match a session named
|
|
.Ql mysession .
|
|
.It
|
|
An
|
|
.Xr fnmatch 3
|
|
pattern which is matched against the session name.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the session name is prefixed with an
|
|
.Ql = ,
|
|
only an exact match is accepted (so
|
|
.Ql =mysess
|
|
will only match exactly
|
|
.Ql mysess ,
|
|
not
|
|
.Ql mysession ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a single session is found, it is used as the target session; multiple matches
|
|
produce an error.
|
|
If a session is omitted, the current session is used if available; if no
|
|
current session is available, the most recently used is chosen.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar target-window
|
|
(or
|
|
.Ar src-window
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar dst-window )
|
|
specifies a window in the form
|
|
.Em session Ns \&: Ns Em window .
|
|
.Em session
|
|
follows the same rules as for
|
|
.Ar target-session ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Em window
|
|
is looked for in order as:
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset Ds
|
|
.It
|
|
A special token, listed below.
|
|
.It
|
|
A window index, for example
|
|
.Ql mysession:1
|
|
is window 1 in session
|
|
.Ql mysession .
|
|
.It
|
|
A window ID, such as @1.
|
|
.It
|
|
An exact window name, such as
|
|
.Ql mysession:mywindow .
|
|
.It
|
|
The start of a window name, such as
|
|
.Ql mysession:mywin .
|
|
.It
|
|
As an
|
|
.Xr fnmatch 3
|
|
pattern matched against the window name.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Like sessions, a
|
|
.Ql =
|
|
prefix will do an exact match only.
|
|
An empty window name specifies the next unused index if appropriate (for
|
|
example the
|
|
.Ic new-window
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic link-window
|
|
commands)
|
|
otherwise the current window in
|
|
.Em session
|
|
is chosen.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following special tokens are available to indicate particular windows.
|
|
Each has a single-character alternative form.
|
|
.Bl -column "XXXXXXXXXX" "X"
|
|
.It Sy "Token" Ta Sy "" Ta Sy "Meaning"
|
|
.It Li "{start}" Ta "^" Ta "The lowest-numbered window"
|
|
.It Li "{end}" Ta "$" Ta "The highest-numbered window"
|
|
.It Li "{last}" Ta "!" Ta "The last (previously current) window"
|
|
.It Li "{next}" Ta "+" Ta "The next window by number"
|
|
.It Li "{previous}" Ta "-" Ta "The previous window by number"
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar target-pane
|
|
(or
|
|
.Ar src-pane
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar dst-pane )
|
|
may be a pane ID or takes a similar form to
|
|
.Ar target-window
|
|
but with the optional addition of a period followed by a pane index or pane ID,
|
|
for example:
|
|
.Ql mysession:mywindow.1 .
|
|
If the pane index is omitted, the currently active pane in the specified
|
|
window is used.
|
|
The following special tokens are available for the pane index:
|
|
.Bl -column "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" "X"
|
|
.It Sy "Token" Ta Sy "" Ta Sy "Meaning"
|
|
.It Li "{last}" Ta "!" Ta "The last (previously active) pane"
|
|
.It Li "{next}" Ta "+" Ta "The next pane by number"
|
|
.It Li "{previous}" Ta "-" Ta "The previous pane by number"
|
|
.It Li "{top}" Ta "" Ta "The top pane"
|
|
.It Li "{bottom}" Ta "" Ta "The bottom pane"
|
|
.It Li "{left}" Ta "" Ta "The leftmost pane"
|
|
.It Li "{right}" Ta "" Ta "The rightmost pane"
|
|
.It Li "{top-left}" Ta "" Ta "The top-left pane"
|
|
.It Li "{top-right}" Ta "" Ta "The top-right pane"
|
|
.It Li "{bottom-left}" Ta "" Ta "The bottom-left pane"
|
|
.It Li "{bottom-right}" Ta "" Ta "The bottom-right pane"
|
|
.It Li "{up-of}" Ta "" Ta "The pane above the active pane"
|
|
.It Li "{down-of}" Ta "" Ta "The pane below the active pane"
|
|
.It Li "{left-of}" Ta "" Ta "The pane to the left of the active pane"
|
|
.It Li "{right-of}" Ta "" Ta "The pane to the right of the active pane"
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The tokens
|
|
.Ql +
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql -
|
|
may be followed by an offset, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
select-window -t:+2
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition,
|
|
.Em target-session ,
|
|
.Em target-window
|
|
or
|
|
.Em target-pane
|
|
may consist entirely of the token
|
|
.Ql {mouse}
|
|
(alternative form
|
|
.Ql = )
|
|
to specify the most recent mouse event
|
|
(see the
|
|
.Sx MOUSE SUPPORT
|
|
section)
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql {marked}
|
|
(alternative form
|
|
.Ql ~ )
|
|
to specify the marked pane (see
|
|
.Ic select-pane
|
|
.Fl m ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Sessions, window and panes are each numbered with a unique ID; session IDs are
|
|
prefixed with a
|
|
.Ql $ ,
|
|
windows with a
|
|
.Ql @ ,
|
|
and panes with a
|
|
.Ql % .
|
|
These are unique and are unchanged for the life of the session, window or pane
|
|
in the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server.
|
|
The pane ID is passed to the child process of the pane in the
|
|
.Ev TMUX_PANE
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
IDs may be displayed using the
|
|
.Ql session_id ,
|
|
.Ql window_id ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql pane_id
|
|
formats (see the
|

.Sx FORMATS
|
|
section) and the
|
|
.Ic display-message ,
|
|
.Ic list-sessions ,
|
|
.Ic list-windows
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic list-panes
|
|
commands.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar shell-command
|
|
arguments are
|
|
.Xr sh 1
|
|
commands.
|
|
This may be a single argument passed to the shell, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
new-window 'vi /etc/passwd'
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Will run:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
/bin/sh -c 'vi /etc/passwd'
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Additionally, the
|
|
.Ic new-window ,
|
|
.Ic new-session ,
|
|
.Ic split-window ,
|
|
.Ic respawn-window
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic respawn-pane
|
|
commands allow
|
|
.Ar shell-command
|
|
to be given as multiple arguments and executed directly (without
|
|
.Ql sh -c ) .
|
|
This can avoid issues with shell quoting.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux new-window vi /etc/passwd
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Will run

|
.Xr vi 1
|
|
directly without invoking the shell.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
.Op Ar arguments
|
|
refers to a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command, passed with the command and arguments separately, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
bind-key F1 set-window-option force-width 81
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Or if using
|
|
.Xr sh 1 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux bind-key F1 set-window-option force-width 81
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Multiple commands may be specified together as part of a
|
|
.Em command sequence .
|
|
Each command should be separated by spaces and a semicolon;
|
|
commands are executed sequentially from left to right and
|
|
lines ending with a backslash continue on to the next line,
|
|
except when escaped by another backslash.
|
|
A literal semicolon may be included by escaping it with a backslash (for
|
|
example, when specifying a command sequence to
|
|
.Ic bind-key ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Example
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands include:
|
|

.Sh CLIENTS AND SESSIONS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server manages clients, sessions, windows and panes.
|
|
Clients are attached to sessions to interact with them, either
|
|
when they are created with the
|
|
.Ic new-session
|
|
command, or later with the
|
|
.Ic attach-session
|
|
command.
|
|
Each session has one or more windows
|
|
.Em linked
|
|
into it.
|
|
Windows may be linked to multiple sessions and are made up of one or
|
|
more panes,
|
|
each of which contains a pseudo terminal.
|
|
Commands for creating, linking and otherwise manipulating windows
|
|
are covered
|
|
in the
|
|
.Sx WINDOWS AND PANES
|
|
section.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following commands are available to manage clients and sessions:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Xo Ic attach-session
|
|
.Op Fl dEr

|
|
If run from outside
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
create a new client in the current terminal and attach it to
|
|
.Ar target-session .
|
|
If used from inside, switch the current client.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
is specified, any other clients attached to the session are detached.
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
signifies the client is read-only (only keys bound to the
|
|
.Ic detach-client
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic switch-client
|
|
commands have any effect)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no server is started,
|
|
.Ic attach-session
|
|
will attempt to start it; this will fail unless sessions are created in the
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar target-session
|
|
rules for
|
|
.Ic attach-session
|
|
are slightly adjusted: if
|
|
.Nm
|

needs to select the most recently used session, it will prefer the most
|
|
recently used
|
|
.Em unattached
|
|
session.
|

.Pp
|

|
or all clients currently attached to the session specified by
|
|
.Fl s .
|
|
The

.Fl t .
|
|
If

A

window may be in one of two modes.
|
|
The default permits direct access to the terminal attached to the window.
|
|
The other is copy mode, which permits a section of a window or its
|
|
history to be copied to a
|
|
.Em paste buffer
|
|
for later insertion into another window.
|
|
This mode is entered with the
|
|
.Ic copy-mode
|
|
command, bound to
|
|
.Ql \&[
|
|
by default.
|
|
It is also entered when a command that produces output, such as
|
|
.Ic list-keys ,
|
|
is executed from a key binding.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Commands are sent to copy mode using the
|
|
.Fl X
|
|
flag to the
|
|
.Ic send-keys
|
|
command.
|
|
When a key is pressed, copy mode automatically uses one of two key tables,
|
|
depending on the
|
|
.Ic mode-keys
|
|
option:
|
|
.Ic copy-mode
|
|
for emacs, or

|
|
The next and previous word keys use space and the
|
|
.Ql - ,
|
|
.Ql _
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql @
|
|
characters as word delimiters by default, but this can be adjusted by
|
|
setting the
|
|
.Em word-separators
|
|
session option.
|
|
Next word moves to the start of the next word, next word end to the end of the
|
|
next word and previous word to the start of the previous word.
|
|
The three next and previous space keys work similarly but use a space alone as
|
|
the word separator.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The jump commands enable quick movement within a line.
|
|
For instance, typing
|
|
.Ql f
|
|
followed by
|
|
.Ql /
|
|
will move the cursor to the next
|
|
.Ql /
|
|
character on the current line.
|
|
A
|
|
.Ql \&;
|
|
will then jump to the next occurrence.

.Pp
|
|
Commands in copy mode may be prefaced by an optional repeat count.
|
|
With vi key bindings, a prefix is entered using the number keys; with
|
|
emacs, the Alt (meta) key and a number begins prefix entry.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The synopsis for the
|
|
.Ic copy-mode
|
|
command is:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Xo Ic copy-mode
|
|
.Op Fl Meu
|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-pane
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Enter copy mode.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
option scrolls one page up.
|
|
.Fl M
|
|
begins a mouse drag (only valid if bound to a mouse key binding, see
|
|
.Sx MOUSE SUPPORT ) .
|
|
.Fl e
|
|
specifies that scrolling to the bottom of the history (to the visible screen)
|
|
should exit copy mode.
|
|
While in copy mode, pressing a key other than those used for scrolling will
|
|
disable this behaviour.
|
|
This is intended to allow fast scrolling through a pane's history, for
|
|
example with:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
bind PageUp copy-mode -eu
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.El
|

.Pp
|
|
Each window displayed by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may be split into one or more
|
|
.Em panes ;
|
|
each pane takes up a certain area of the display and is a separate terminal.
|
|
A window may be split into panes using the
|
|
.Ic split-window
|
|
command.
|
|
Windows may be split horizontally (with the
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
flag) or vertically.
|
|
Panes may be resized with the
|
|
.Ic resize-pane
|
|
command (bound to
|
|
.Ql C-Up ,
|
|
.Ql C-Down
|
|
.Ql C-Left
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql C-Right
|
|
by default), the current pane may be changed with the
|
|
.Ic select-pane
|
|
command and the
|
|
.Ic rotate-window
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic swap-pane
|
|
commands may be used to swap panes without changing their position.
|
|
Panes are numbered beginning from zero in the order they are created.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A number of preset
|
|
.Em layouts
|
|
are available.
|
|
These may be selected with the
|
|
.Ic select-layout
|
|
command or cycled with
|
|
.Ic next-layout
|
|
(bound to
|
|
.Ql Space
|
|
by default); once a layout is chosen, panes within it may be moved and resized
|
|
as normal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following layouts are supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Ic even-horizontal
|
|
Panes are spread out evenly from left to right across the window.
|
|
.It Ic even-vertical
|
|
Panes are spread evenly from top to bottom.
|
|
.It Ic main-horizontal
|
|
A large (main) pane is shown at the top of the window and the remaining panes
|
|
are spread from left to right in the leftover space at the bottom.
|
|
Use the
|
|
.Em main-pane-height
|
|
window option to specify the height of the top pane.
|
|
.It Ic main-vertical
|
|
Similar to
|
|
.Ic main-horizontal
|
|
but the large pane is placed on the left and the others spread from top to
|
|
bottom along the right.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Em main-pane-width
|
|
window option.
|
|
.It Ic tiled
|
|
Panes are spread out as evenly as possible over the window in both rows and
|
|
columns.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition,
|
|
.Ic select-layout
|
|
may be used to apply a previously used layout - the
|
|
.Ic list-windows
|
|
command displays the layout of each window in a form suitable for use with
|
|
.Ic select-layout .
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux list-windows
|
|
0: ksh [159x48]
|
|
layout: bb62,159x48,0,0{79x48,0,0,79x48,80,0}
|
|
$ tmux select-layout bb62,159x48,0,0{79x48,0,0,79x48,80,0}
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
automatically adjusts the size of the layout for the current window size.
|
|
Note that a layout cannot be applied to a window with more panes than that
|
|
from which the layout was originally defined.
|
|

|
|
.Fl e

.Fl M
|
|
are used to set and clear the
|
|

|
|
There is one marked pane at a time, setting a new marked pane clears the last.
|
|
The marked pane is the default target for
|

.Sh KEY BINDINGS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
allows a command to be bound to most keys, with or without a prefix key.
|
|
When specifying keys, most represent themselves (for example
|
|
.Ql A
|
|
to
|
|
.Ql Z ) .
|
|
Ctrl keys may be prefixed with
|
|
.Ql C-
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql ^ ,
|
|
and Alt (meta) with
|
|
.Ql M- .
|
|
In addition, the following special key names are accepted:
|
|
.Em Up ,
|
|
.Em Down ,
|
|
.Em Left ,
|
|
.Em Right ,
|
|
.Em BSpace ,
|
|
.Em BTab ,
|
|
.Em DC
|
|
(Delete),

.Em NPage/PageDown/PgDn ,
|
|
.Em PPage/PageUp/PgUp ,
|
|
.Em Space ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Em Tab .
|
|
Note that to bind the
|
|
.Ql \&"
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql '
|
|
keys, quotation marks are necessary, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
bind-key '"' split-window
|
|
bind-key "'" new-window
|
|
.Ed
|
|

.D1 (alias: Ic bind )
|
|
Bind key
|
|
.Ar key
|
|
to
|
|
.Ar command .
|
|
Keys are bound in a key table.
|
|
By default (without -T), the key is bound in
|
|
the
|
|
.Em prefix
|
|
key table.
|
|
This table is used for keys pressed after the prefix key (for example,
|
|
by default
|
|
.Ql c
|
|
is bound to
|
|
.Ic new-window
|
|
in the
|
|
.Em prefix
|
|
table, so
|
|
.Ql C-b c
|
|
creates a new window).
|
|
The
|
|
.Em root
|
|
table is used for keys pressed without the prefix key: binding
|
|
.Ql c
|
|
to
|
|
.Ic new-window
|
|
in the
|
|
.Em root
|
|
table (not recommended) means a plain
|
|
.Ql c
|
|
will create a new window.
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
is an alias
|
|
for
|
|
.Fl T Ar root .
|
|
Keys may also be bound in custom key tables and the
|
|
.Ic switch-client
|
|
.Fl T
|
|
command used to switch to them from a key binding.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
flag indicates this key may repeat, see the
|
|
.Ic repeat-time
|
|
option.

.Ar key
|
|
is the name of the key (such as
|
|
.Ql C-a
|
|
or

|
.Ql NPage )
|
|
to send; if the string is not recognised as a key, it is sent as a series of

|
characters.
|
|
The

|
flag disables key name lookup and sends the keys literally.
|
|
All arguments are sent sequentially from first to last.

.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The appearance and behaviour of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may be modified by changing the value of various options.
|
|
There are three types of option:
|
|
.Em server options ,
|
|
.Em session options
|
|
and
|
|
.Em window options .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
server has a set of global options which do not apply to any particular
|
|
window or session.
|
|
These are altered with the
|
|
.Ic set-option
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
command, or displayed with the
|
|
.Ic show-options
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition, each individual session may have a set of session options, and
|
|
there is a separate set of global session options.
|
|
Sessions which do not have a particular option configured inherit the value
|
|
from the global session options.
|
|
Session options are set or unset with the
|
|
.Ic set-option
|
|
command and may be listed with the
|
|
.Ic show-options
|
|
command.
|
|
The available server and session options are listed under the
|
|
.Ic set-option
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Similarly, a set of window options is attached to each window, and there is
|
|
a set of global window options from which any unset options are inherited.
|
|
Window options are altered with the
|
|
.Ic set-window-option
|
|
command and can be listed with the
|
|
.Ic show-window-options
|
|
command.
|
|
All window options are documented with the
|
|
.Ic set-window-option
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
also supports user options which are prefixed with a
|
|
.Ql \&@ .
|
|
User options may have any name, so long as they are prefixed with
|
|
.Ql \&@ ,
|
|
and be set to any string.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ tmux setw -q @foo "abc123"
|
|
$ tmux showw -v @foo
|
|

Commands which set options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Xo Ic set-option
|
|
.Op Fl agoqsuw
|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-session | Ar target-window
|
|
.Ar option Ar value
|
|
.Xc
|
|
.D1 (alias: Ic set )
|
|
Set a window option with
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
(equivalent to the
|
|
.Ic set-window-option
|
|
command),
|
|
a server option with
|
|
.Fl s ,
|
|
otherwise a session option.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl g
|
|
is given, the global session or window option is set.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
flag unsets an option, so a session inherits the option from the global
|
|
options (or with
|
|
.Fl g ,
|
|
restores a global option to the default).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
flag prevents setting an option that is already set and the
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
flag suppresses errors about unknown or ambiguous options.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
With
|
|
.Fl a ,
|
|
and if the option expects a string or a style,
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
is appended to the existing setting.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set -g status-left "foo"
|
|
set -ag status-left "bar"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Will result in
|
|
.Ql foobar .
|
|
And:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set -g status-style "bg=red"
|
|
set -ag status-style "fg=blue"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Will result in a red background
|
|
.Em and
|
|
blue foreground.
|
|
Without
|
|
.Fl a ,
|
|
the result would be the default background and a blue foreground.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Available window options are listed under
|
|
.Ic set-window-option .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
depends on the option and may be a number, a string, or a flag (on, off, or
|
|
omitted to toggle).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Available server options are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Ic buffer-limit Ar number
|
|
Set the number of buffers; as new buffers are added to the top of the stack,
|
|
old ones are removed from the bottom if necessary to maintain this maximum
|
|

|
|
.It Xo Ic command-alias[]
|
|
.Ar name=value
|
|
.Xc
|
|
This is an array of custom aliases for commands.
|
|
If an unknown command matches
|
|
.Ar name ,
|
|
it is replaced with
|
|
.Ar value .
|
|
For example, after:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl set -s command-alias[2] zoom='resize-pane -Z'
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Using:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl zoom -t:.1
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Is equivalent to:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl resize-pane -Z -t:.1
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that aliases are expanded when a command is parsed rather than when it is
|
|
executed, so binding an alias with
|
|
.Ic bind-key
|
|
will bind the expanded form.
|
|
.It Ic default-terminal Ar terminal
|
|
Set the default terminal for new windows created in this session - the
|
|
default value of the
|
|
.Ev TERM

|
|
.Xr fnmatch 3 )
|
|
and a set of
|
|
.Em name=value
|
|
entries.
|
|
.Pp
|

.D1 (alias: Ic setw )
|
|
Set a window option.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl a ,
|
|
.Fl g ,
|
|
.Fl o ,
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
flags work similarly to the

command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Supported window options are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact
|
|
.It Xo Ic aggressive-resize
|
|
.Op Ic on | off
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Aggressively resize the chosen window.
|
|
This means that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will resize the window to the size of the smallest session for which it is the
|
|
current window, rather than the smallest session to which it is attached.
|
|
The window may resize when the current window is changed on another sessions;
|
|
this option is good for full-screen programs which support
|
|
.Dv SIGWINCH
|
|
and poor for interactive programs such as shells.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Xo Ic allow-rename
|
|
.Op Ic on | off
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Allow programs to change the window name using a terminal escape

|
|
.Em smcup
|
|
and
|
|
.Em rmcup
|
|
.Xr terminfo 5
|
|
capabilities.
|
|
The alternate screen feature preserves the contents of the window when an
|
|
interactive application starts and restores it on exit, so that any output
|
|
visible before the application starts reappears unchanged after it exits.
|
|
The default is on.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Xo Ic automatic-rename
|
|
.Op Ic on | off
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Control automatic window renaming.
|
|
When this setting is enabled,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will rename the window automatically using the format specified by
|
|
.Ic automatic-rename-format .
|
|
This flag is automatically disabled for an individual window when a name
|
|
is specified at creation with
|
|
.Ic new-window
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic new-session ,
|
|
or later with
|
|
.Ic rename-window ,
|
|
or with a terminal escape sequence.
|
|
It may be switched off globally with:

|
Prevent
|
|
.Nm
|
|
from resizing a window to greater than

.It Ic other-pane-height Ar height
|
|
Set the height of the other panes (not the main pane) in the
|
|
.Ic main-horizontal

|
|
If both the
|
|
.Ic main-pane-height
|
|

|
|
.Ic other-pane-height
|
|

.Sh HOOKS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
allows commands to run on various triggers, called
|
|
.Em hooks .
|
|
Most
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands have an
|
|
.Em after
|
|
hook and there are a number of hooks not associated with commands.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A command's after
|
|
hook is run after it completes, except when the command is run as part of a hook
|
|
itself.
|
|
They are named with an
|
|
.Ql after-
|
|
prefix.
|
|
For example, the following command adds a hook to select the even-vertical
|
|
layout after every
|
|
.Ic split-window :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set-hook after-split-window "selectl even-vertical"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition, the following hooks are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
|
|
.It alert-activity
|
|
Run when a window has activity.
|
|
See
|
|
.Ic monitor-activity .
|
|
.It alert-bell
|
|
Run when a window has received a bell.
|
|

|
|
.It client-detached
|
|
Run when a client is detached
|
|
.It client-resized
|

|
|
.It client-session-changed
|
|
Run when a client's attached session is changed.
|
|
.It pane-died
|
|
Run when the program running in a pane exits, but
|
|
.Ic remain-on-exit
|
|
is on so the pane has not closed.
|
|
.It pane-exited
|
|
Run when the program running in a pane exits.
|
|
.It session-created
|
|
Run when a new session created.
|
|
.It session-closed
|
|
Run when a session closed.
|
|
.It session-renamed

|
|
.It window-renamed
|
|
Run when a window is renamed.
|
|
.It window-unlinked
|
|

|
|
.El

|
.Op Fl gu
|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-session
|
|

is added to the global list of hooks, otherwise it is added to the session
|
|
hooks (for

|
.Ar target-session

|
|
.It Xo Ic show-hooks
|
|
.Op Fl g
|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-session
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Shows the global list of hooks with

.El
|
|
.Sh MOUSE SUPPORT
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ic mouse
|
|
option is on (the default is off),
|
|
.Nm
|
|
allows mouse events to be bound as keys.
|
|
The name of each key is made up of a mouse event (such as
|
|
.Ql MouseUp1 )
|
|
and a location suffix (one of
|
|
.Ql Pane
|
|
for the contents of a pane,
|
|
.Ql Border
|
|
for a pane border or
|
|
.Ql Status
|
|
for the status line).
|
|
The following mouse events are available:
|
|
.Bl -column "MouseDown1" "MouseDrag1" "WheelDown" -offset indent
|
|
.It Li "WheelUp" Ta "WheelDown" Ta ""
|
|
.It Li "MouseDown1" Ta "MouseUp1" Ta "MouseDrag1" Ta "MouseDragEnd1"
|
|
.It Li "MouseDown2" Ta "MouseUp2" Ta "MouseDrag2" Ta "MouseDragEnd2"
|
|
.It Li "MouseDown3" Ta "MouseUp3" Ta "MouseDrag3" Ta "MouseDragEnd3"
|
|
.It Li "DoubleClick1" Ta "DoubleClick2" Ta "DoubleClick3" Ta "WheelUp"
|
|
.It Li "TripleClick1" Ta "TripleClick2" Ta "TripleClick3" Ta "WheelDown"
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each should be suffixed with a location, for example
|
|
.Ql MouseDown1Status .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The special token
|
|
.Ql {mouse}
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql =
|
|
may be used as
|
|
.Ar target-window
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar target-pane
|
|
in commands bound to mouse key bindings.
|
|
It resolves to the window or pane over which the mouse event took place
|
|
(for example, the window in the status line over which button 1 was released for a
|
|
.Ql MouseUp1Status
|
|
binding, or the pane over which the wheel was scrolled for a
|
|
.Ql WheelDownPane
|
|
binding).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic send-keys
|
|
.Fl M
|
|
flag may be used to forward a mouse event to a pane.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The default key bindings allow the mouse to be used to select and resize panes,
|
|
to copy text and to change window using the status line.
|
|
These take effect if the
|
|
.Ic mouse
|
|
option is turned on.
|
|
.Sh FORMATS
|
|
Certain commands accept the
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
flag with a
|
|
.Ar format
|
|
argument.
|
|
This is a string which controls the output format of the command.
|
|
Replacement variables are enclosed in
|
|
.Ql #{
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql } ,
|
|
for example
|
|
.Ql #{session_name} .
|
|
The possible variables are listed in the table below, or the name of a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
option may be used for an option's value.
|
|
Some variables have a shorter alias such as
|
|
.Ql #S ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql ##
|
|
is replaced by a single
|
|
.Ql # .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Conditionals are available by prefixing with
|
|
.Ql \&?
|
|
and separating two alternatives with a comma;
|
|
if the specified variable exists and is not zero, the first alternative
|
|
is chosen, otherwise the second is used.
|
|
For example
|
|
.Ql #{?session_attached,attached,not attached}
|
|
will include the string
|
|
.Ql attached
|
|
if the session is attached and the string
|
|
.Ql not attached
|
|
if it is unattached, or
|
|
.Ql #{?automatic-rename,yes,no}
|
|
will include
|
|
.Ql yes
|
|
if
|
|
.Ic automatic-rename
|
|
is enabled, or
|
|
.Ql no
|
|
if not.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Simple comparisons may be expressed by prefixing two comma-separated
|
|
alternatives by
|
|
.Ql ==
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql !=
|
|
and a colon.
|
|
For example
|
|
.Ql #{==,#{host},myhost}
|
|
will be replaced by
|
|
.Ql 1
|
|
if running on
|
|
.Ql myhost ,
|
|
otherwise by
|
|
.Ql 0.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A limit may be placed on the length of the resultant string by prefixing it
|
|
by an
|
|
.Ql = ,
|
|
a number and a colon.
|
|
Positive numbers count from the start of the string and negative from the end,
|
|
so
|
|
.Ql #{=5:pane_title}
|
|
will include at most the first 5 characters of the pane title, or
|
|
.Ql #{=-5:pane_title}
|
|
the last 5 characters.
|
|
Prefixing a time variable with
|
|
.Ql t:
|
|
will convert it to a string, so if
|
|
.Ql #{window_activity}
|
|
gives
|
|
.Ql 1445765102 ,
|
|
.Ql #{t:window_activity}
|
|
gives
|
|
.Ql Sun Oct 25 09:25:02 2015 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Ql b:
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql d:
|
|
prefixes are
|
|
.Xr basename 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr dirname 3
|
|
of the variable respectively.
|
|
A prefix of the form
|
|
.Ql s/foo/bar/:
|
|
will substitute
|
|
.Ql foo
|
|
with
|
|
.Ql bar
|
|
throughout.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition, the first line of a shell command's output may be inserted using
|
|
.Ql #() .
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Ql #(uptime)
|
|
will insert the system's uptime.
|
|
When constructing formats,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not wait for
|
|
.Ql #()
|
|
commands to finish; instead, the previous result from running the same command is used,
|
|
or a placeholder if the command has not been run before.
|
|

.Sh NAMES AND TITLES
|
|
.Nm
|
|
distinguishes between names and titles.
|
|
Windows and sessions have names, which may be used to specify them in targets
|
|
and are displayed in the status line and various lists: the name is the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
identifier for a window or session.
|
|
Only panes have titles.
|
|
A pane's title is typically set by the program running inside the pane and
|
|
is not modified by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
It is the same mechanism used to set for example the
|
|
.Xr xterm 1
|
|
window title in an
|
|
.Xr X 7
|
|
window manager.
|
|
Windows themselves do not have titles - a window's title is the title of its
|
|
active pane.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
itself may set the title of the terminal in which the client is running, see
|
|
the
|
|
.Ic set-titles
|
|
option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A session's name is set with the
|
|
.Ic new-session
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic rename-session
|
|
commands.
|
|
A window's name is set with one of:
|
|
.Bl -enum -width Ds
|
|
.It
|
|
A command argument (such as
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
for
|
|
.Ic new-window
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic new-session ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
An escape sequence:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ printf '\e033kWINDOW_NAME\e033\e\e'
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It
|
|
Automatic renaming, which sets the name to the active command in the window's
|
|
active pane.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Ic automatic-rename
|
|
option.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When a pane is first created, its title is the hostname.
|
|
A pane's title can be set via the OSC title setting sequence, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ printf '\e033]2;My Title\e033\e\e'
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
When the server is started,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
copies the environment into the
|
|
.Em global environment ;
|
|
in addition, each session has a
|
|
.Em session environment .
|
|
When a window is created, the session and global environments are merged.
|
|
If a variable exists in both, the value from the session environment is used.
|
|
The result is the initial environment passed to the new process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic update-environment
|
|
session option may be used to update the session environment from the client
|
|
when a new session is created or an old reattached.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
also initialises the
|
|
.Ev TMUX
|
|
variable with some internal information to allow commands to be executed
|
|
from inside, and the
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
variable with the correct terminal setting of
|
|
.Ql screen .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Commands to alter and view the environment are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Xo Ic set-environment
|
|
.Op Fl gru
|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-session
|
|
.Ar name Op Ar value
|
|
.Xc
|
|
.D1 (alias: Ic setenv )
|
|
Set or unset an environment variable.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl g
|
|
is used, the change is made in the global environment; otherwise, it is applied
|
|
to the session environment for
|
|
.Ar target-session .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
flag unsets a variable.
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
indicates the variable is to be removed from the environment before starting a
|
|
new process.
|
|
.It Xo Ic show-environment
|
|
.Op Fl gs
|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-session
|
|
.Op Ar variable
|
|
.Xc
|
|
.D1 (alias: Ic showenv )
|
|
Display the environment for
|
|
.Ar target-session
|
|
or the global environment with
|
|
.Fl g .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar variable
|
|
is omitted, all variables are shown.
|
|
Variables removed from the environment are prefixed with
|
|
.Ql - .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
is used, the output is formatted as a set of Bourne shell commands.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh STATUS LINE
|
|
.Nm
|
|
includes an optional status line which is displayed in the bottom line of each
|
|
terminal.
|
|
By default, the status line is enabled (it may be disabled with the
|
|
.Ic status
|
|
session option) and contains, from left-to-right: the name of the current
|
|
session in square brackets; the window list; the title of the active pane
|
|
in double quotes; and the time and date.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The status line is made of three parts: configurable left and right sections
|
|
(which may contain dynamic content such as the time or output from a shell
|
|
command, see the
|
|
.Ic status-left ,
|
|
.Ic status-left-length ,
|
|
.Ic status-right ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic status-right-length
|
|
options below), and a central window list.
|
|
By default, the window list shows the index, name and (if any) flag of the
|
|
windows present in the current session in ascending numerical order.
|
|
It may be customised with the
|
|
.Ar window-status-format
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar window-status-current-format
|
|
options.
|
|
The flag is one of the following symbols appended to the window name:
|
|
.Bl -column "Symbol" "Meaning" -offset indent
|
|
.It Sy "Symbol" Ta Sy "Meaning"
|
|
.It Li "*" Ta "Denotes the current window."
|
|
.It Li "-" Ta "Marks the last window (previously selected)."
|
|
.It Li "#" Ta "Window is monitored and activity has been detected."
|
|
.It Li "!" Ta "A bell has occurred in the window."
|
|
.It Li "~" Ta "The window has been silent for the monitor-silence interval."
|
|
.It Li "M" Ta "The window contains the marked pane."
|
|
.It Li "Z" Ta "The window's active pane is zoomed."
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The # symbol relates to the
|
|
.Ic monitor-activity
|
|
window option.
|
|
The window name is printed in inverted colours if an alert (bell, activity or
|
|
silence) is present.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The colour and attributes of the status line may be configured, the entire
|
|
status line using the
|
|
.Ic status-style
|
|
session option and individual windows using the
|
|
.Ic window-status-style
|
|
window option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The status line is automatically refreshed at interval if it has changed, the
|
|
interval may be controlled with the
|
|
.Ic status-interval
|
|
session option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Commands related to the status line are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Xo Ic command-prompt
|
|
.Op Fl 1i
|
|
.Op Fl I Ar inputs
|
|
.Op Fl p Ar prompts
|
|
.Op Fl t Ar target-client
|
|
.Op Ar template
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Open the command prompt in a client.
|
|
This may be used from inside
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to execute commands interactively.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar template
|
|
is specified, it is used as the command.
|
|
If present,
|
|
.Fl I
|
|
is a comma-separated list of the initial text for each prompt.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
is given,
|
|
.Ar prompts
|
|
is a comma-separated list of prompts which are displayed in order; otherwise
|
|
a single prompt is displayed, constructed from
|
|
.Ar template
|
|
if it is present, or
|
|
.Ql \&:
|
|
if not.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Before the command is executed, the first occurrence of the string
|
|
.Ql %%
|
|
and all occurrences of
|
|
.Ql %1
|
|
are replaced by the response to the first prompt, all
|
|
.Ql %2
|
|
are replaced with the response to the second prompt, and so on for further
|
|
prompts.
|
|
Up to nine prompt responses may be replaced
|
|
.Po
|
|
.Ql %1
|
|
to
|
|
.Ql %9
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
.Ql %%%
|
|
is like
|
|
.Ql %%
|
|
but any quotation marks are escaped.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fl 1
|
|
makes the prompt only accept one key press, in this case the resulting input
|
|
is a single character.
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
executes the command every time the prompt input changes instead of when the
|
|
user exits the command prompt.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following keys have a special meaning in the command prompt, depending
|
|
on the value of the
|
|
.Ic status-keys
|
|
option:
|
|
.Bl -column "FunctionXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" "viXXXX" "emacsX" -offset indent

|
|
Each buffer may be either explicitly or automatically named.
|
|
Explicitly named buffers are named when created with the
|
|
.Ic set-buffer
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic load-buffer
|
|
commands, or by renaming an automatically named buffer with
|
|
.Ic set-buffer
|
|
.Fl n .
|
|
Automatically named buffers are given a name such as
|
|
.Ql buffer0001 ,
|
|
.Ql buffer0002
|
|
and so on.
|
|
When the
|
|
.Ic buffer-limit
|
|
option is reached, the oldest automatically named buffer is deleted.
|
|
Explicitly named buffers are not subject to
|
|
.Ic buffer-limit
|
|
and may be deleted with
|
|
.Ic delete-buffer
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|

|
and
|
|
.Ic load-buffer
|
|
commands, and pasted into a window using the
|
|
.Ic paste-buffer
|
|
command.
|
|
If a buffer command is used and no buffer is specified, the most
|
|
recently added automatically named buffer is assumed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A configurable history buffer is also maintained for each window.
|
|
By default, up to 2000 lines are kept; this can be altered with the
|
|
.Ic history-limit
|
|
option (see the
|
|
.Ic set-option
|
|
command above).

The first takes a single string argument and is used to set the colour;
|
|
the second takes no arguments and restores the default cursor colour.
|
|
If set, a sequence such as this may be used
|
|
to change the cursor colour from inside

using a simple text-only protocol.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In control mode, a client sends
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands or command sequences terminated by newlines on standard input.
|
|
Each command will produce one block of output on standard output.
|
|
An output block consists of a
|
|
.Em %begin
|
|
line followed by the output (which may be empty).
|
|
The output block ends with a
|
|
.Em %end
|
|
or
|
|
.Em %error .
|
|
.Em %begin
|
|
and matching
|
|
.Em %end
|
|
or
|
|
.Em %error
|
|
have two arguments: an integer time (as seconds from epoch) and command number.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
%begin 1363006971 2
|
|
