- window creation/idle time
- 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
- 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?
- better mode features: search, back word, forward word, etc
- flags to centre screen in window
- better terminal emulation
- activity/bell should be per-window not per-link? what if it is cur win in
session not being watched?
- 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)
- some people find first window being 0 rather than 1 is awkward on the
keyboard (index-base option or similar for new window start)
- 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
- 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
- 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
- clone session command
- make command sequences more usable: don't require space after ;, handle
errors better
- key to switch to copy mode from scroll mode
- attach should have a flag to create session if it doesn't exist
- a way to address panes by name ("top-left") and position ("0,0")
- 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)
- 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
- way to set socket path from config file
- XXX once env stuff is in, default-path and VISUAL/EDITOR should be picked up
when session is started
- 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?
- H/M/L commands in copy mode with vi-keys, for jumping to the top/middle/last
line on the screen
- split list-windows into separate list-windows and list-panes
- way to override terminfo definitions
- warts on current naming:
- display-time but message-fg/bg/attr
- list-* vs show-*
- server-info
- up-pane/down-pane/swap-pane -U/swap-pane -D vs next-*/previous-*
- pcvt25 doesn't work properly, why? (bce?)
- tidy up and prioritise todo list ;-)
- it is only possible to specify 8 colours to fg/bg options; should be able to
set 256 as well
- neww and attach can create a session if none exists?
would work fine with config file since
- option to set customisable prompt for command-prompt (so eg bind -n F2
command-prompt "splitw 'exec man %%') can have "man: " instead of "(splitw)".
- a way for force-width/height to apply to only one
pane (how?)
- **** a command to run something without a window and send any output to the
window-more. if no output, info() a line saying "'%s' returned %d". so i can
bind mpc control commands to function keys ;-)
- command to list what is actually running in each window with command line,
pid (need some adaption of the osdep code)
- options to change/remove the symbols (*-+ etc) in status line (bloat?)
- asupport for bce
- reset attributes when idle so ~./pkill are less likely to leave terminal upset
- it would be nice if the start/end line keys in copy mode were aware of
wrapped lines
