- line mode/char-at-a-time mode a la telnet?
- handle ioctl/termios stuff on window sockets
- figure out once and for all what is going on with backspace and del
backspace should be translated per the termios setting.
del passed through?
- window creation/idle time
- profile/optimise, particularly (i suspect) input.c
- 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 so you could have C-b K K for
kill-window to limit accidental presses
- 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?
clone-session command to link all windows to a new 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
- split clients into three RB trees by fd: attached/unattached/dead?
or tailqs? what would be fastest per-char?
- c/p is still borken in some ways
- better mode features: search, back word, forward word, etc
- flags to centre screen in window
- better terminal emulation (identify, insert mode, some other bits)
- when resizing, use history
- 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
- a command to display the status line briefly when it is turned off
- FAQ "Can I have some examples of cool things I can do with tmux?" -- linkw,
more??
- kill all but current pane
- fix rxvt cursor fg issue (text under cursor can have non-white fg)
- key handling sucks a bit and needs to be reworked
- some people find first window being 0 rather than 1 is awkward on the
keyboard. what about a new-window-index option that sets the base at which
tmux starts numbering new windows, then they can do: set -g new-window-index
1; bind 0 selectw -t:10
- some way to change status line colours based on something? command?
- 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?
- command to purge window history? or apply history-limit changes?
- clone session command
- make command sequences more usable: don't require space around ;, handle
errors better
- 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?
- a confirm-before command which asks "Are you sure? (y/n)" before executing
command, eg bind-key "&" confirm-before "kill-window"
- 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
- clear window title on exit
- better support for stupid margin terminals. strcmp for cons25 sucks, how can
these be autodetected?
- refer to windows by name etc (duplicates? fnmatch?)
- the output code (tty.c) could do with optimisation depending on term
capibilities
(hopefully) for 0.8, in no particular order:
- test bug sshing from freebsd console
- layout/split stuff:
horiz split command, and similar resizing commands as for vert split
rotate-window (-pane?) to rotate panes so first becomes last
display the layout in a readable format somewhere
previous-layout command
select-layout command
make manual layout a bit less of a hack and make it handle a grid
should the layout be a window option???
more layouts
better resizing of shells when changing layout
find and fix bug with clear screen after horiz split
speed improvements?
hardcoded 81 for left-vertical is nasty
- document new layout stuff: next-layout
- document swap-pane
- document repeat behaviour and -r on bind-key
- document status-keys
- document break-pane
- document -8 flag
- document set-remain-on-exit
- document -L and update socket path bits in tmux.1
