1.1 misho 1: CHANGES FROM 2.3 to 2.4 20 April 2017
2:
3: Incompatible Changes
4: ====================
5:
6: * Key tables have undergone major changes. Mode key tables are no longer
7: separate from the main key tables. All mode key tables have been removed,
8: together with the -t flag to bind-key and unbind-key.
9:
10: The emacs-edit, vi-edit, emacs-choose and vi-choose tables have been replaced
11: by fixed key bindings in the command prompt and choose modes. The mode-keys
12: and status-keys options remain.
13:
14: The emacs-copy and vi-copy tables have been replaced by the copy-mode and
15: copy-mode-vi tables. Commands are sent using the -X and -N flags to
16: send-keys. So the following:
17:
18: bind -temacs-copy C-Up scroll-up
19: bind -temacs-copy -R5 WheelUpPane scroll-up
20:
21: Becomes:
22:
23: bind -Tcopy-mode C-Up send -X scroll-up
24: bind -Tcopy-mode WheelUpPane send -N5 -X scroll-up
25:
26: This changes allows the full command parser (including command sequences) and
27: command set to be used - for example, the normal command prompt with editing
28: and history is now used for searching, jumping, and so on instead of a custom
29: one. The default C-r binding is now:
30:
31: bind -Tcopy-mode C-r command-prompt -p'search up' "send -X search-backward '%%'"
32:
33: There are also some new commmands available with send -X, such as
34: copy-pipe-and-cancel.
35: * set-remain-on-exit has gone -- can be achieved with hooks instead.
36: * Hooks: before hooks have been removed and only a selection of commands now
37: have after hooks (they are no longer automatic). Additional hooks have been
38: added.
39: * The xterm-keys option now defaults to on.
40:
41: Normal Changes
42: ==============
43:
44: * Support for mouse double and triple clicks.
45: * BCE (Background Colour Erase) is now supported.
46: * All occurrences of a search string in copy mode are now highlighted;
47: additionally, the number of search results is displayed. The highlighting
48: updates interactively with the default emacs key bindings (incremental
49: search).
50: * source-file now understands glob patterns.
51: * Formats now have simple comparisons:
52:
53: #{==:a,b}
54: #{!=:a,b}
55:
56: * There are the following new formats:
57:
58: - #{version} -- the tmux server version;
59: - #{client_termtype} -- the terminal type of the client;
60: - #{client_name} -- the name of a client;
61: - #{client_written} -- the number of bytes written to the client.
62:
63: * The configuration file now accepts %if/%endif conditional blocks which are
64: processed when it is parsed; the argument is a format string (useful with the
65: new format comparison options).
66: * detach-client now has -E to execute a command replacing the client instead of
67: exiting.
68: * Add support for custom command aliases, this is an array option which
69: contains items of the form "alias=command". This is consulted when an
70: unknown command is parsed.
71: * break-pane now has -n to specify the new window name.
72: * OSC 52 support has been added for programs inside tmux to set a tmux buffer.
73: * The mouse "all event" mode (1003) is now supported.
74: * Palette setting is now possible (OSC 4 and 104).
75: * Strikethrough support (a recent terminfo is required).
76: * Grouped sessions can now be named (new -t).
77: * terminal-overrides and update-environment are now array options (the previous
78: set -ag syntax should work without change).
79: * There have been substantial performance improvements.
80:
81: CHANGES FROM 2.2 to 2.3 29 September 2016
82:
83: Incompatible Changes
84: ====================
85:
86: None.
87:
88: Normal Changes
89: ==============
90:
91: * New option 'pane-border-status' to add text in the pane borders.
92: * Support for hooks on commands: 'after' and 'before' hooks.
93: * 'source-file' understands '-q' to suppress errors for nonexistent files.
94: * Lots of UTF8 improvements, especially on MacOS.
95: * 'window-status-separator' understands #[] expansions.
96: * 'split-window' understands '-f' for performing a full-width split.
97: * Allow report count to be specified when using 'bind-key -R'.
98: * 'set -a' for appending to user options (@foo) is now supported.
99: * 'display-panes' can now accept a command to run, rather than always
100: selecting the pane.
101:
102: CHANGES FROM 2.1 to 2.2 10 April 2016
103:
104: Incompatible Changes
105: ====================
106:
107: * The format strings which referenced time have been removed. Instead:
108:
109: #{t:window_activity}
110:
111: can be used.
112:
113: * Support for TMPDIR has been removed. Use TMUX_TMPDIR instead.
114: * UTF8 detection now happens automatically if the client supports it, hence
115: the:
116:
117: mouse-utf8
118: utf8
119:
120: options has been removed.
121: * The:
122:
123: mouse_utf8_flag
124:
125: format string has been removed.
126: * The -I option to show-messages has been removed. See:
127:
128: #{t:start_time}
129:
130: format option instead.
131:
132: Normal Changes
133: ==============
134:
135: * Panes are unzoomed with selectp -LRUD
136: * New formats added:
137:
138: #{scroll_position}
139: #{socket_path}
140: #{=10:...} -- limit to N characters (from the start)
141: #{=-10:...} -- limit to N characters (from the end)
142: #{t:...} -- used to format time-based formats
143: #{b:...} -- used to ascertain basename from string
144: #{d:...} -- used to ascertain dirname from string
145: #{s:...} -- used to perform substitutions on a string
146:
147: * Job output is run via the format system, so formats work again
148: * If display-time is set to 0, then the indicators wait for a key to be
149: pressed.
150: * list-keys and list-commands can be run without starting the tmux server.
151: * kill-session learns -C to clear all alerts in all windows of the session.
152: * Support for hooks (internal for now), but hooks for the following have been
153: implemented:
154:
155: alert-bell
156: alert-silence
157: alert-activity
158: client-attached
159: client-detached
160: client-resized
161: pane-died
162: pane-exited
163:
164: * RGB (24bit) colour support. The 'Tc' flag must be set in the external TERM
165: entry (using terminal-overrides or a custom terminfo entry).
166:
167:
168: CHANGES FROM 2.0 to 2.1 18 October 2015
169:
170: Incompatible Changes
171: ====================
172:
173: * Mouse-mode has been rewritten. There's now no longer options for:
174: - mouse-resize-pane
175: - mouse-select-pane
176: - mouse-select-window
177: - mode-mouse
178:
179: Instead there is just one option: 'mouse' which turns on mouse support
180: entirely.
181: * 'default-terminal' is now a session option. Furthermore, if this is set
182: to 'screen-*' then emulate what screen does. If italics are wanted, this
183: can be set to 'tmux' but this is still new and not necessarily supported
184: on all platforms with older ncurses installs.
185: * The c0-* options for rate-limiting have been removed. Instead, a backoff
186: approach is used.
187:
188: Normal Changes
189: ==============
190:
191: * New formats:
192: - session_activity
193: - window_linked
194: - window_activity_format
195: - session_alerts
196: - session_last_attached
197: - client_pid
198: - pid
199: * 'copy-selection', 'append-selection', 'start-named-buffer' now understand
200: an '-x' flag to prevent it exiting copying mode.
201: * 'select-pane' now understands '-P' to set window/pane background colours.
202: * 'renumber-windows' now understands windows which are unlinked.
203: * 'bind' now understands multiple key tables. Allows for key-chaining.
204: * 'select-layout' understands '-o' to undo the last layout change.
205: * The environment is updated when switching sessions as well as attaching.
206: * 'select-pane' now understands '-M' for marking a pane. This marked pane
207: can then be used with commands which understand src-pane specifiers
208: automatically.
209: * If a session/window target is prefixed with '=' then only an exact match
210: is considered.
211: * 'move-window' understands '-a'.
212: * 'update-environment' understands '-E' when attach-session is used on an
213: already attached client.
214: * 'show-environment' understands '-s' to output Bourne-compatible commands.
215: * New option: 'history-file' to save/restore command prompt history.
216: * Copy mode is exited if the history is cleared whilst in copy-mode.
217: * 'copy-mode' learned '-e' to exit copy-mode when scrolling to end.
218:
219: CHANGES FROM 1.9a to 2.0 6 March 2015
220:
221: Incompatible Changes
222: ====================
223:
224: * The choose-list command has been removed.
225: * 'terminal-overrides' is now a server option, not a session option.
226: * 'message-limit' is now a server option, not a session option.
227: * 'monitor-content' option has been removed.
228: * 'pane_start_path' option has been removed.
229: * The "info" mechanism which used to (for some commands) provide feedback
230: has been removed, and like other commands, they now produce nothing on
231: success.
232:
233: Normal Changes
234: ==============
235:
236: * tmux can now write an entry to utmp if the library 'utempter' is present
237: at compile time.
238: * set-buffer learned append mode (-a), and a corresponding
239: 'append-selection' command has been added to copy-mode.
240: * choose-mode now has the following commands which can be bound:
241: - start-of-list
242: - end-of-list
243: - top-line
244: - bottom-line
245:
246: * choose-buffer now understands UTF-8.
247: * Pane navigation has changed:
248: - The old way of always using the top or left if the choice is ambiguous.
249: - The new way of remembering the last used pane is annoying if the
250: layout is balanced and the leftmost is obvious to the user (because
251: clearly if we go right from the top-left in a tiled set of four we want
252: to end up in top-right, even if we were last using the bottom-right).
253:
254: So instead, use a combination of both: if there is only one possible
255: pane alongside the current pane, move to it, otherwise choose the most
256: recently used of the choice.
257: * 'set-buffer' can now be told to give names to buffers.
258: * The 'new-session', 'new-window', 'split-window', and 'respawn-pane' commands
259: now understand multiple arguments and handle quoting problems correctly.
260: * 'capture-pane' understands '-S-' to mean the start of the pane, and '-E-' to
261: mean the end of the pane.
262: * Support for function keys beyond F12 has changed. The following explains:
263: - F13-F24 are S-F1 to S-F12
264: - F25-F36 are C-F1 to C-F12
265: - F37-F48 are C-S-F1 to C-S-F12
266: - F49-F60 are M-F1 to M-F12
267: - F61-F63 are M-S-F1 to M-S-F3
268:
269: Therefore, F13 becomes a binding of S-F1, etc.
270: * Support using pane id as part of session or window specifier (so % means
271: session-of-%1 or window-of-%1) and window id as part of session
272: (so @1 means session-of-@1).
273: * 'copy-pipe' command now understands formats via -F
274: * 'if-shell' command now understands formats via -F
275: * 'split-window' and 'join-window' understand -b to create the pane to the left
276: or above the target pane.
277:
278: CHANGES FROM 1.9 to 1.9a 22 February 2014
279:
280: NOTE: This is a bug-fix release to address some important bugs which just
281: missed the 1.9 deadline, but were found afterwards.
282:
283: Normal Changes
284: ==============
285:
286: * Fix crash due to uninitialized lastwp member of layout_cell
287: * Fix -fg/-bg/-style with 256 colour terminals.
288:
289: CHANGES FROM 1.8 to 1.9, 20 February 2014
290:
291: NOTE: This release has bumped the tmux protocol version. It is therefore
292: advised that the prior tmux server is restarted when this version of tmux is
293: installed, to avoid protocol mismatch errors for newer clients trying to
294: talk to an older running tmux server.
295:
296: Incompatible Changes
297: ====================
298:
299: * 88 colour support has been removed.
300: * 'default-path' has been removed. The new-window command accepts '-c' to
301: cater for this. The previous value of "." can be replaced with: 'neww -c
302: $PWD', the previous value of '' which meant current path of the pane can
303: be specified as: 'neww -c "#{pane_current_path}"'
304:
305: Deprecated Changes
306: ==================
307:
308: * The single format specifiers: #A -> #Z (where defined) have been
309: deprecated and replaced with longer-named equivalents, as listed in the
310: FORMATS section of the tmux manpage.
311: * The various foo-{fg,bg,attr} commands have been deprecated and replaced
312: with equivalent foo-style option instead. Currently this is still
313: backwards-compatible, but will be removed over time.
314:
315: Normal Changes
316: ==============
317:
318: * A new environment variable TMUX_TMPDIR is now honoured, allowing the
319: socket directory to be set outside of TMPDIR (/tmp/ if not set).
320: * If -s not given to swap-pane the current pane is assumed.
321: * A #{pane_synchronized} format specifier has been added to be a conditional
322: format if a pane is in a synchronised mode (c.f. synchronize-panes)
323: * Tmux now runs under Cygwin natively.
324: * Formats can now be nested within each other and expanded accordingly.
325: * Added 'automatic-rename-format' option to allow the automatic rename
326: mechanism to use something other than the default of
327: #{pane_current_command}.
328: * new-session learnt '-c' to specify the starting directory for that session
329: and all subsequent windows therein.
330: * The session name is now shown in the message printed to the terminal when
331: a session is detached.
332: * Lots more format specifiers have been added.
333: * Server race conditions have been fixed; in particular commands are not run
334: until after the configuration file is read completely.
335: * Case insensitive searching in tmux's copy-mode is now possible.
336: * attach-session and switch-client learnt the '-t' option to accept a window
337: and/or a pane to use.
338: * Copy-mode is only exited if no selection is in progress.
339: * Paste key in copy-mode is now possible to enter text from the clipboard.
340: * status-interval set to '0' now works as intended.
341: * tmux now supports 256 colours running under fbterm.
342: * Many bug fixes!
343:
344: CHANGES FROM 1.7 to 1.8, 26 March 2013
345:
346: Incompatible Changes
347: ====================
348:
349: * layout redo/undo has been removed.
350:
351: Normal Changes
352: ==============
353:
354: * Add halfpage up/down bindings to copy mode.
355: * Session choosing fixed to work with unattached sessions.
356: * New window options window-status-last-{attr,bg,fg} to denote the last
357: window which was active.
358: * Scrolling in copy-mode now scrolls the region without moving the mouse
359: cursor.
360: * run-shell learnt '-t' to specify the pane to use when displaying output.
361: * Support for middle-click pasting.
362: * choose-tree learns '-u' to start uncollapsed.
363: * select-window learnt '-T' to toggle to the last window if it's already
364: current.
365: * New session option 'assume-paste-time' for pasting text versus key-binding
366: actions.
367: * choose-* commands now work outside of an attached client.
368: * Aliases are now shown for list-commands command.
369: * Status learns about formats.
370: * Free-form options can be set with set-option if prepended with an '@'
371: sign.
372: * capture-pane learnt '-p' to send to stdout, and '-e' for capturing escape
373: sequences, and '-a' to capture the alternate screen, and '-P' to dump
374: pending output.
375: * Many new formats added (client_session, client_last_session, etc.)
376: * Control mode, which is a way for a client to send tmux commands.
377: Currently more useful to users of iterm2.
378: * resize-pane learnt '-x' and '-y' for absolute pane sizing.
379: * Config file loading now reports errors from all files which are loaded via
380: the 'source-file' command.
381: * 'copy-pipe' mode command to copy selection and pipe the selection to a
382: command.
383: * Panes can now emit focus notifications for certain applications
384: which use those.
385: * run-shell and if-shell now accept formats.
386: * resize-pane learnt '-Z' for zooming a pane temporarily.
387: * new-session learnt '-A' to make it behave like attach-session.
388: * set-option learnt '-o' to prevent setting an option which is already set.
389: * capture-pane and show-options learns '-q' to silence errors.
390: * New command 'wait-for' which blocks a client until woken up again.
391: * Resizing panes will now reflow the text inside them.
392: * Lots and lots of bug fixes, fixing memory-leaks, etc.
393: * Various manpage improvements.
394:
395: CHANGES FROM 1.6 to 1.7, 13 October 2012
396:
397: * tmux configuration files now support line-continuation with a "\" at the
398: end of a line.
399: * New option status-position to move the status line to the top or bottom of
400: the screen.
401: * Enforce history-limit option when clearing the screen.
402: * Give each window a unique id, like panes but prefixed with @.
403: * Add pane id to each pane in layout description (while still accepting
404: the old form).
405: * Provide defined ways to set the various default-path possibilities: ~
406: for home directory, . for server start directory, - for session start
407: directory and empty for the pane's working directory (the default). All
408: can also be used as part of a relative path (eg -/foo). Also provide -c
409: flags to neww and splitw to override default-path setting.
410: * Add -l flag to send-keys to send input literally (without translating
411: key names).
412: * Allow a single option to be specified to show-options to show just that
413: option.
414: * New command "move-pane" (like join-pane but allows the same window).
415: * join-pane and move-pane commands learn "-b" option to place the pane to
416: the left or above.
417: * Support for bracketed-paste mode.
418: * Allow send-keys command to accept hex values.
419: * Add locking around "start-server" to avoid race-conditions.
420: * break-pane learns -P/-F arguments for display formatting.
421: * set-option learns "-q" to make it quiet, and not print out anything.
422: * copy mode learns "wrap-search" option.
423: * Add a simple form of output rate limiting by counting the number of
424: certain C0 sequences (linefeeds, backspaces, carriage returns) and if it
425: exceeds a threshold (current default 250/millisecond), start to redraw
426: the pane every 100 milliseconds instead of making each change as it
427: comes. Two configuration options - c0-change-trigger and
428: c0-change-interval.
429: * find-window learns new flags: "-C", "-N", "-T" to match against either or
430: all of a window's content, name, or title. Defaults to all three options
431: if none specified.
432: * find-window automatically selects the appropriate pane for the found
433: matches.
434: * show-environment can now accept one option to show that environment value.
435: * Exit mouse mode when end-of-screen reached when scrolling with the mouse
436: wheel.
437: * select-layout learns -u and -U for layout history stacks.
438: * kill-window, detach-client, kill-session all learn "-a" option for
439: killing all but the current thing specified.
440: * move-window learns "-r" option to renumber window sequentially in a
441: session.
442: * New session option "renumber-windows" to automatically renumber windows in
443: a session when a window is closed. (see "move-window -r").
444: * Only enter copy-mode on scroll up.
445: * choose-* and list-* commands all use "-F" for format specifiers.
446: * When spawning external commands, the value from the "default-shell" option
447: is now used, rather than assuming /bin/sh.
448: * New choose-tree command to render window/sessions as a tree for selection.
449: * display-message learns new format options.
450: * For linked-windows across sessions, all flags for that window are now
451: cleared across sessions.
452: * Lots and lots of bug fixes, fixing memory-leaks, etc.
453: * Various manpage improvements.
454:
455: CHANGES FROM 1.5 TO 1.6, 23 January 2012
456:
457: * Extend the mode-mouse option to add a third choice which means the mouse
458: does not enter copy mode.
459: * Add a -r flag to switch-client to toggle the client read-only flag.
460: * Add pane-base-index option.
461: * Support \ for line continuation in the configuration file.
462: * Framework for more powerful formatting of command output and use it for
463: list-{panes,windows,sessions}. This allows more descriptive replacements
464: (such as #{session_name}) and conditionals.
465: * Mark dead panes with some text saying they are dead.
466: * Reject $SHELL if it is not a full path.
467: * Add -S option to refresh-client to redraw status line.
468: * Add an else clause for if-shell.
469: * Try to resolve relative paths for loadb and saveb (first, using client
470: working directory, if any, then default-path or session working directory).
471: * Support for \e[3J to clear the history and send the corresponding
472: terminfo code (E3) before locking.
473: * When in copy mode, make repeat count indicate buffer to replace, if used.
474: * Add screen*:XT to terminal-overrides for tmux-in-tmux.
475: * Status-line message attributes added.
476: * Move word-separators to be a session rather than window option.
477: * Change the way the working directory for new processes is discovered. If
478: default-path isn't empty, it is used. Otherwise, if a new window is created
479: from the command-line, the working directory of the client is used. If not,
480: platform specific code is used to retrieve the current working directory
481: of the process in the active pane. If that fails, the directory where the
482: session was created is used, instead.
483: * Do not change the current pane if both mouse-select-{pane,window} are
484: enabled.
485: * Add \033[s and \033[u to save and restore cursor position.
486: * Allow $HOME to be used as default-path.
487: * Add CNL and CPL escape sequences.
488: * Calculate last position correctly for UTF-8 wide characters.
489: * Add an option allow-rename to disable the window rename escape sequence.
490: * Attributes for each type of status-line alert (ie bell, content and
491: activity) added. Therefore, remove the superfluous options
492: window-status-alert-{attr,bg,fg}.
493: * Add a -R flag to send-keys to reset the terminal.
494: * Add strings to allow the aixterm bright colours to be used when
495: configuring colours.
496: * Drop the ability to have a list of keys in the prefix in favour of two
497: separate options, prefix and prefix2.
498: * Flag -2 added to send-prefix to send the secondary prefix key.
499: * Show pane size in top right of display panes mode.
500: * Some memory leaks plugged.

505: CHANGES FROM 1.4 TO 1.5, 09 July 2011
506:
507: * Support xterm mouse modes 1002 and 1003.
508: * Change from a per-session stack of buffers to one global stack. This renders
509: copy-buffer useless and makes buffer-limit now a server option.
510: * Fix most-recently-used choice by avoiding reset the activity timer for
511: unattached sessions every second.
512: * Add a -P option to new-window and split-window to print the new window or
513: pane index in target form (useful to pass it into other commands).
514: * Handle a # at the end of a replacement string (such as status-left)
515: correctly.
516: * Support for UTF-8 mouse input (\033[1005h) which was added in xterm 262.
517: If the new mouse-utf8 option is on, UTF-8 mouse input is enabled for all
518: UTF-8 terminals. The option defaults to on if LANG etc are set in the same
519: manner as the utf8 option.
520: * Support for HP-UX.
521: * Accept colours of the hex form #ffffff and translate to the nearest from the
522: xterm(1) 256-colour set.
523: * Clear the non-blocking IO flag (O_NONBLOCK) on the stdio file descriptors
524: before closing them (fixes things like "tmux ls && cat").
525: * Use TMPDIR if set.
526: * Fix next and previous session functions to actually work.
527: * Support -x and -y for new-session to specify the initial size of the window
528: if created detached with -d.
529: * Make bind-key accept characters with the top-bit-set and print them as octal.
530: * Set $TMUX without the session when background jobs are run.
531: * Simplify the way jobs work and drop the persist type, so all jobs are
532: fire-and-forget.
533: * Accept tcgetattr/tcsetattr(3) failure, fixes problems with fatal() if the
534: terminal disappears while locked.
535: * Add a -P option to detach to HUP the client's parent process (usually causing
536: it to exit as well).
537: * Support passing through escape sequences to the underlying terminal by using
538: DCS with a "tmux;" prefix.
539: * Prevent tiled producing a corrupt layout when only one column is needed.
540: * Give each pane created in a tmux server a unique id (starting from 0), put it
541: in the TMUX_PANE environment variable and accept it as a target.
542: * Allow a start and end line to be specified for capture-pane which may be
543: negative to capture part of the history.
544: * Add -a and -s options to lsp to list all panes in the server or session
545: respectively. Likewise add -s to lsw.
546: * Change -t on display-message to be target-pane for the #[A-Z] replacements
547: and add -c as target-client.
548: * The attach-session command now prefers the most recently used unattached
549: session.
550: * Add -s option to detach-client to detach all clients attached to a session.
551: * Add -t to list-clients.
552: * Change window with mouse wheel over status line if mouse-select-window is on.
553: * When mode-mouse is on, automatically enter copy mode when the mouse is
554: dragged or the mouse wheel is used. Also exit copy mode when the mouse wheel
555: is scrolled off the bottom.
556: * Provide #h character pair for short hostname (no domain).
557: * Don't use strnvis(3) for the title as it breaks UTF-8.
558: * Use the tsl and fsl terminfo(5) capabilities to update terminal title and
559: automatically fill them in on terminals with the XT capability (which means
560: their title setting is xterm-compatible).
561: * Add a new option, mouse-resize-pane. When on, panes may be resized by
562: dragging their borders.
563: * Fix crash by resetting last pane on {break,swap}-pane across windows.
564: * Add three new copy-mode commands - select-line, copy-line, copy-end-of-line.
565: * Support setting the xterm clipboard when copying from copy mode using the
566: xterm escape sequence for the purpose (if xterm is configured to allow it).
567: * Support xterm(1) cursor colour change sequences through terminfo(5) Cc
568: (set) and Cr (reset) extensions.
569: * Support DECSCUSR sequence to set the cursor style with two new terminfo(5)
570: extensions, Cs and Csr.
571: * Make the command-prompt custom prompts recognize the status-left option
572: character pairs.
573: * Add a respawn-pane command.
574: * Add a couple of extra xterm-style keys that gnome terminal provides.
575: * Allow the initial context on prompts to be set with the new -I option to
576: command-prompt. Include the current window and session name in the prompt
577: when renaming and add a new key binding ($) for rename session.
578: * Option bell-on-alert added to trigger the terminal bell when there is an
579: alert.
580: * Change the list-keys format so that it shows the keys using actual tmux
581: commands which should be able to be directly copied into the config file.
582: * Show full targets for lsp/lsw -a.
583: * Make confirm-before prompt customizable with -p option like command-prompt
584: and add the character pairs #W and #P to the default kill-{pane,window}
585: prompts.
586: * Avoid sending data to suspended/locked clients.
587: * Small memory leaks in error paths plugged.
588: * Vi mode improvements.
589:
590: CHANGES FROM 1.3 TO 1.4, 27 December 2010
591:
592: * Window bell reporting fixed.
593: * Show which pane is active in the list-panes output.

600: indicator.
601: * Flags -n and -p added to switch-client.
602: * Use UTF-8 line drawing characters on UTF-8 terminals, thus fixing some
603: terminals (eg putty) which disable the vt100 ACS mode switching sequences
604: in UTF-8 mode. On terminals without ACS, use ASCII equivalents.
605: * New server option exit-unattached added.
606: * New session option destroy-unattached added.
607: * Fall back on normal session choice method if $TMUX exists but is invalid
608: rather than rejecting.
609: * Mark repeating keys with "(repeat)" in the key list.
610: * When removing a pane, don't change the active pane unless the active pane
611: is actually the one being removed.
612: * New command last-pane added.
613: * AIX fixes.
614: * Flag -a added to unbind-key.
615: * Add XAUTHORITY to update-environment.
616: * More info regarding window and pane flags is now shown in list-*.
617: * If VISUAL or EDITOR contains "vi" configure mode-keys and status-key to vi.
618: * New window option monitor-silence and session option visual-silence added.
619: * In the built-in layouts distribute the panes more evenly.
620: * Set the default value of main-pane-width to 80 instead of 81.
621: * Command-line flag -V added.
622: * Instead of keeping a per-client prompt history make it global.
623: * Fix rectangle copy to behave like emacs (the cursor is not part of the
624: selection on the right edge but on the left it is).
625: * Flag -l added to switch-client.
626: * Retrieve environment variables from the global environment rather than
627: getenv(3), thus allowing them to be updated during the configuration file.

629: * More minor bugs fixed and manpage improvements.
630:
631: CHANGES FROM 1.2 TO 1.3, 18 July 2010
632:
633: * New input parser.
634: * Flags to move through panes -UDLR added to select-pane.
635: * Commands up-pane, and down-pane removed, since equivalent behaviour is now
636: available through the target flag (-t:+ and -t:-).
637: * Jump-forward/backward in copy move (based on vi's F, and f commands).
638: * Make paste-buffer accept a pane as a target.
639: * Flag -a added to new-window to insert a window after an existing one, moving
640: windows up if necessary.
641: * Merge more mode into copy mode.
642: * Run job commands explicitly in the global environment (which can be modified
643: with setenv -g), rather than with the environment tmux started with.
644: * Use the machine's hostname as the default title, instead of an empty string.
645: * Prevent double free if the window option remain-on-exit is set.
646: * Key string conversions rewritten.
647: * Mark zombie windows as dead in the choose-window list.
648: * Tiled layout added.
649: * Signal handling reworked.
650: * Reset SIGCHLD after fork to fix problems with some shells.
651: * Select-prompt command removed. Therefore, bound ' to command-prompt -p index
652: "select-window -t:%%" by default.
653: * Catch SIGHUP and terminate if running as a client, thus avoiding clients from
654: being left hanging around when, for instance, a SSH session is disconnected.
655: * Solaris 9 fixes (such as adding compat {get,set}env(3) code).
656: * Accept none instead of default for attributes.
657: * Window options window-status-alert-{alert,bg,fg} added.
658: * Flag -s added to the paste-buffer command to specify a custom separator.

660: set.
661: * Support the mouse scroll wheel.
662: * Make pipe-pane accept special character sequences (eg #I).
663: * Fix problems with window sizing when starting tmux from .xinitrc.
664: * Give tmux sockets (but not the containing folder) group permissions.
665: * Extend the target flags (ie -t) to accept an offset (for example -t:+2), and
666: make it wrap windows, and panes.
667: * New command choose-buffer added.
668: * New server option detach-on-destroy to set what happens to a client when the
669: session it is attached to is destroyed. If on (default), the client is
670: detached. Otherwise, the client is switched to the most recently active of
671: the remaining sessions.
672: * The commands load-buffer, and save-buffer now accept a dash (-) as the file
673: to read from stdin, or write to stdout.
674: * Custom layouts added.
675: * Additional code reduction, bug fixes, and manpage enhancements.
676:
677: CHANGES FROM 1.1 TO 1.2, 10 March 2010
678:
679: * Switch to libevent.

681: start on Sun consoles (TERM=sun, or sun-color).
682: * Assign each entry a number, or lowercase letter in choose mode, and accept
683: that as a shortcut key.
684: * Permit top-bit-set characters to be entered in the status line.
685: * Mark no-prefix keys with (no prefix), rather than [] in list-keys.
686: * New command show-messages (alias showmsgs), and new session option
687: message-limit, to show a per-client log of status lines messages up to the
688: number defined by message-limit.
689: * Do not interpret #() for display-message to avoid leaking commands.
690: * New window options window-status-format, and window-status-current-format to
691: control the format of each window in the status line.
692: * Add a -p flag to display-message to print the output, instead of displaying
693: it in the status line.
694: * Emulate il1, dl1, ich1 to run with vt100 feature set.
695: * New command capture-pane (alias capturep) to copy the entire pane contents
696: to a paste buffer.
697: * Avoid duplicating code by adding a -w flag to set-option, and show-options to
698: set, and show window options. The commands set-window-option, and
699: show-window-options are now aliases.
700: * Panes can now be referred to as top, bottom, top-left, etc.
701: * Add server-wide options, which can be set with set-option -s, and shown with
702: show-options -s.
703: * New server option quiet (like -q from the command line).
704: * New server option escape-time to set the timeout used to detect if escapes
705: are alone, part of a function key, or meta sequence.
706: * New session options pane-active-border-bg, pane-active-border-fg,
707: pane-border-bg, and pane-border-fg to set pane colours.
708: * Make split-window accept a pane target, instead of a window.
709: * New command join-pane (alias joinp) to split, and move an existing pane into
710: the space (the opposite of break-pane), thus simplifying calls to
711: split-window, followed by move-window.
712: * Permit S- prefix on keys for shift when the terminal/terminfo supports them.
713: * Window targets (-t flag) can now refer to the last window (!), next (+), and
714: previous (-) window by number.
715: * Mode keys to jump to the bottom/top of history, end of the next word, scroll
716: up/down, and reverse search in copy mode.
717: * New session option display-panes-active-colour to display the active pane in
718: a different colour with the display-panes command.
719: * Read the socket path from $TMUX if it's present, and -L, and -S are not
720: given.
721: * Vi-style mode keys B, W, and E to navigate between words in copy mode.
722: * Start in more mode when configuration file errors are detected.
723: * Rectangle copy support added.

728: separators in copy mode.
729: * Permit keys in copy mode to be prefixed by a repeat count, entered with [1-9]
730: in vi mode, or M-[1-9] in emacs mode.
731: * utf8 improvements.
732: * As usual, additional code reduction, bug fixes, and manpage enhancements.
733:
734: CHANGES FROM 1.0 TO 1.1, 05 November 2009
735:
736: * New run-shell (alias run) command to run an external command without a
737: window, capture it's stdout, and send it to output mode.
738: * Ability to define multiple prefix keys.
739: * Internal locking mechanism removed. Instead, detach each client and run the
740: external command specified in the new session option lock-command (by default
741: lock -np), thus allowing the system password to be used.
742: * set-password command, and -U command line flag removed per the above change.
743: * Add support for -c command line flag to execute a shell command.
744: * New lock-client (alias lockc), and lock-session (alias locks) commands to
745: lock a particular client, or all clients attached to a session.
746: * Support C-n/C-p/C-v/M-v with emacs keys in choice mode.
747: * Use : for goto line rather than g in vi mode.
748: * Try to guess which client to use when no target client was specified. Finds
749: the current session, and if only one client is present, use it. Otherwise,
750: return the most recently used client.
751: * Make C-Down/C-Up in copy mode scroll the screen down/up one line without
752: moving the cursor.
753: * Scroll mode superseded by copy mode.
754: * New synchronize-panes window option to send all input to all other panes in
755: the same window.
756: * New lock-server session option to lock, when off (on by default), each
757: session when it has been idle for the lock-after-time setting. When on, the
758: entire server locks when all sessions have been idle for their individual
759: lock-after-time setting.
760: * Add support for grouped sessions which have independent name, options,
761: current window, but where the linked windows are synchronized (ie creating,
762: killing windows are mirrored between the sessions). A grouped session may be
763: created by passing -t to new-session.
764: * New mouse-select-pane session option to select the current pane with the
765: mouse.
766: * Queue, and run commands in the background for if-shell, status-left,
767: status-right, and #() by starting each once every status-interval. Adds the
768: capability to call some programs which would previously cause the server to
769: hang (eg sleep/tmux). It also avoids running commands excessively (ie if used
770: multiple times, it will be run only once).
771: * When a window is zombified and automatic-rename is on, append [dead] to the
772: name.
773: * Split list-panes (alias lsp) off from list-windows.
774: * New pipe-pane (alias pipep) to redirect a pane output to an external command.
775: * Support for automatic-renames for Solaris.
776: * Permit attributes to be turned off in #[] by prefixing with no (eg nobright).
777: * Add H/M/L in vi mode, and M-R/M-r in emacs to move the cursor to the top,
778: middle, and bottom of the screen.
779: * -a option added to kill-pane to kill all except current pane.
780: * The -d command line flag is now gone (can be replaced by terminal-overrides).
781: Just use op/AX to detect default colours.
782: * input/tty/utf8 improvements.
783: * xterm-keys rewrite.
784: * Additional code reduction, and bug fixes.
785:
786: CHANGES FROM 0.9 TO 1.0, 20 Sept 2009

792: * Option to request multiple responses when using command-prompt.
793: * Improved environment handling.
794: * Combine wrapped lines when pasting.

801: * Optional visual bell, activity and content indications.
802: * Set the utf8 and status-utf8 options when the server is started with -u.
803: * display-message command to show a message in the status line, by default some
804: information about the current window.
805: * Improved current process detection on NetBSD.
806: * unlink-window -k is now the same as kill-window.
807: * attach-session now works from inside tmux.
808: * A system-wide configuration file, /etc/tmux.conf.
809: * A number of new commands in copy mode, including searching.
810: * Panes are now specified using the target (-t) notation.
811: * -t now accepts fnmatch(3) patterns and looks for prefixes.
812: * Translate \r into \n when pasting.
813: * Support for binding commands to keys without the prefix key
814: * Support for alternate screen (terminfo smcup/rmcup).
815: * Maintain data that goes off screen after reducing the window size, so it can
816: be restored when the size is increased again.
817: * New if-shell command to test a shell command before running a tmux command.
818: * tmux now works as the shell.
819: * Man page reorganisation.
820: * Many minor additions, much code tidying and several bug fixes.
821:
822: CHANGES FROM 0.8 TO 0.9, 01 July 2009
823:
824: * Major changes to build infrastructure: cleanup of makefiles and addition
825: of a configure script.
826: * monitor-content window option to monitor a window for a specific fnmatch(3)
827: pattern. The find-window command also now accepts fnmatch(3) patterns.
828: * previous-layout and select-layout commands, and a main-horizontal layout.
829: * Recreate the server socket on SIGUSR1.
830: * clear-history command.
831: * Use ACS line drawing characters for pane separator lines.
832: * UTF-8 improvements, and code to detect UTF-8 support by looking at
833: environment variables.
834: * The resize-pane-up and resize-pane-down commands are now merged together
835: into a new resize-pane command with -U and -D flags.
836: * confirm-before command to request a yes/no answer before executing dangerous
837: commands.
838: * Status line bug fixes, support for UTF-8 (status-utf8 option), and a key to
839: paste from the paste buffer.
840: * Support for some additional escape sequences and terminal features, including
841: better support for insert mode and tab stops.
842: * Improved window resizing behaviour, modelled after xterm.
843: * Some code reduction and a number of miscellaneous bug fixes.
844:
845: ================================================================================
846:
847: On 01 June 2009, tmux was imported into the OpenBSD base system. From this date
848: onward changes are logged as part of the normal CVS commit message to either
849: OpenBSD or SourceForge CVS. This file will be updated to contain a summary of
850: major changes with each release, and to mention important configuration or
851: command syntax changes during development.
852:
853: The list of older changes is below.
854:
855: ================================================================================
856:
857: 21 May 2009
858:
859: * stat(2) files before trying to load them to avoid problems, for example
860: with "source-file /dev/zero".
861:
862: 19 May 2009
863:
864: * Try to guess if the window is UTF-8 by outputting a three-byte UTF-8 wide
865: character and seeing how much the cursor moves. Currently tries to figure out
866: if this works by some stupid checks on the terminal, these need to be
867: rethought. Also might be better using a width 1 character rather than width 2.
868: * If LANG contains "UTF-8", assume the terminal supports UTF-8, on the grounds
869: that anyone who configures it probably wants UTF-8. Not certain if this is
870: a perfect idea but let's see if it causes any problems.
871: * New window option: monitor-content. Searches for a string in a window and if
872: it matches, highlight the status line.
873:
874: 18 May 2009
875:
876: * main-horizontal layout and main-pane-height option to match vertical.
877: * New window option main-pane-width to set the width of the large left pane with
878: main-vertical (was left-vertical) layout.
879: * Lots of layout cleanup. manual layout is now manual-vertical.
880:
881: 16 May 2009
882:
883: * select-layout command and a few default key bindings (M-0, M-1, M-2, M-9) to
884: select layouts.
885: * Recreate server socket on SIGUSR1, per SF feature request 2792533.
886:
887: 14 May 2009
888:
889: * Keys in status line (p in vi mode, M-y in emacs) to paste the first line
890: of the upper paste buffer. Suggested by Dan Colish.
891: * clear-history command to clear a pane's history.
892: * Don't force wrapping with \n when asked, let the cursor code figure it out.
893: Should fix terminals which use this to detect line breaks.
894: * Major cleanup and restructuring of build infrastructure. Still separate files
895: for GNU and BSD make, but they are now hugely simplified at the expense of
896: adding a configure script which must be run before make. Now build and
897: install with:
898:
899: $ ./configure && make && sudo make install
900:
901: 04 May 2009
902:
903: * Use ACS line drawing characters for pane separator lines.
904:
905: 30 April 2009
906:
907: * Support command sequences without a space before the semicolon, for example
908: "neww; neww" now works as well as "neww ; neww". "neww;neww" is still an
909: error.
910: * previous-layout command.
911: * Display the layout name in window lists.
912: * Merge resize-pane-up and resize-pane-down into resize-pane with -U and -D
913: flags.
914:
915: 29 April 2009
916:
917: * Get rid of compat/vis.* - only one function was used which is easily
918: replaced,and less compat code == good.
919:
920: 27 April 2009
921:
922: * Avoid using the prompt history when the server is locked, and prevent any
923: input entered from being added to the client's prompt history.
924: * New command, confirm-before (alias confirm), which asks for confirmation
925: before executing a command. Bound "&" and "x" by default to confirm-before
926: "kill-window" and confirm-before "kill-pane", respectively.
927:
928: 23 April 2009
929:
930: * Support NEL, yet another way of making newline. Fixes the output from some
931: Gentoo packaging thing. Reported by someone on SF then logs that allowed a
932: fix sent by tcunha.
933: * Use the xenl terminfo flag to detect early-wrap terminals like the FreeBSD
934: console. Many thanks for a very informative email from Christian Weisgerber.
935:
936: 21 April 2009
937:
938: * tmux 0.8 released.
939:
940: 17 April 2009
941:
942: * Remove the right number of characters from the buffer when escape then
943: a cursor key (or other key prefixed by \033) is pressed. Reported by
944: Stuart Henderson.
945:
946: 03 April 2009
947:
948: * rotate-window command. -U flag (default) for up, -D flag for down.
949:
950: 02 April 2009
951:
952: * Change scroll/pane redraws to only redraw the single pane affected rather
953: than the entire window.
954: * If redrawing the region would mean redrawing > half the pane, just schedule
955: to redraw the entire window. Also add a flag to skip updating the window any
956: further if it is scheduled to be redrawn. This has the effect of batching
957: multiple redraws together.
958:
959: 01 April 2009
960:
961: * Basic horizontal splitting and layout management. Still some redraw and other
962: issues - particularly, don't mix with manual pane resizing, be careful when
963: viewing from multiple clients and don't expect shell windows to redraw very
964: well after the layout is changed; generally cycling the layout a few times
965: will fix most problems. Getting this in for testing while I think about how
966: to deal with manual mode.
967:
968: Split window as normal and cycle the layouts with C-b space. Some of the
969: layouts will work better when swap-pane comes along.
970:
971: 31 March 2009
972:
973: * AIX port, thanks to cmihai for access to a box. Only tested on 6.1 with xlc
974: 10.1 (make sure CC is set). Needs GNU make and probably ncurses (didn't try
975: plain curses). Also won't build with DEBUG, so comment the FDEBUG=1 line in
976: GNUmakefile.
977: * Draw a vertical line on the right when the window size is less than the
978: terminal size. This is partly to shake out any horizontal limit bugs on the
979: way to horizontal splitting/pane tiling. Currently a bit slow since it has to
980: do a lot of redrawing but hopefully that will improve as I get some better
981: ideas for how to do it.
982: * Fix remaining problems with copy and paste and UTF-8.
983:
984: 28 March 2009
985:
986: * Better UTF-8 support, including combined characters. Unicode data is now
987: stored as UTF-8 in a separate array, the code does a lookup into this every
988: time it gets to a UTF-8 cell. Zero width characters are just appended onto
989: the UTF-8 data for the previous cell. This also means that almost no bytes
990: extra are wasted non-Unicode data (yay).
991:
992: Still some oddities, such as copy mode skips over wide characters in a
993: strange way, and the code could do with some tidying.
994: * Key repeating is now a property of the key binding not of the command.
995: Repeat is turned on when the key is bound with the -r flag to bind-key.
996: next/previous-window no longer repeat by default as it turned out to annoy
997: me.
998:
999: 27 March 2009
1000:
1001: * Clear using ED when redrawing the screen. I foolishly assumed using spaces
1002: would be equivalent and terminals would pick up on this, but apparently not.
1003: This fixes copy and paste in xterm/rxvt.
1004: * Sockets in /tmp are now created in a subdirectory named, tmux-UID, eg
1005: tmux-1000. The default socket is thus /tmp/tmux-UID/default. To start a
1006: separate server, the new -L command line option should be used: this creates
1007: a socket in the same directory with a different name ("-L main" will create
1008: socket called "main"). -S should only be used to place the socket outside
1009: /tmp. This makes sockets a little more secure and a bit more convenient to
1010: use multiple servers.
1011:
1012: 21 March 2009
1013:
1014: * New session flag "set-remain-on-exit" to set remain-on-exit flag for new
1015: windows created in that session (like "remain-by-default" used to do). Not
1016: perfectly happy about this, but until I can think of a good way to introduce
1017: it generically (maybe a set of options in the session) this will do. Fixes
1018: SF request 2527847.
1019:
1020: 07 March 2009
1021:
1022: * Support for 88 colour terminals.
1023: * break-pane command to create a new window using an existing pane.
1024:
1025: 02 March 2009
1026:
1027: * Make escape key timer work properly so escape+key can be used without
1028: lightning fast key presses.
1029:
1030: 13 February 2009
1031:
1032: * Redo mode keys slightly more cleanly and apply them to command prompt
1033: editing. vi or emacs mode is controlled by the session option status-keys.
1034:
1035: 12 February 2009
1036:
1037: * Looking up argv[0] is expensive, so just use p_comm for the window name which
1038: is good enough. Also increase name update time to 500 ms.
1039:
1040: 11 February 2009
1041:
1042: * Only use ri when actually at the top of the screen; just move the cursor up
1043: otherwise.
1044: * FreeBSD's console wraps lines at $COLUMNS - 1 rather than $COLUMNS (the
1045: cursor can never be beyond $COLUMNS - 1) and does not appear to support
1046: changing this behaviour, or any of the obvious possibilities (turning off
1047: right margin wrapping, insert mode). This is irritating, most notably because
1048: it impossible to write to the very bottom-right of the screen without
1049: scrolling. To work around this, if built on FreeBSD and run with a "cons"
1050: $TERM, the bottom-right cell on the screen is omitted.
1051: * Emulate scroll regions (slowly) to support the few terminals which don't have
1052: it (some of which don't really have any excuse).
1053:
1054: 10 February 2009
1055:
1056: * No longer redraw the status line every status-interval unless it has actually
1057: changed.
1058:
1059: 08 February 2009
1060:
1061: * Don't treat empty arguments ("") differently when parsing configuration
1062: file/command prompt rather than command line.
1063: * tmux 0.7 released.
1064:
1065: 03 February 2009
1066:
1067: * New command, copy-buffer (alias copyb), to copy a session paste buffer to
1068: another session.
1069:
1070: 01 February 2009
1071:
1072: * The character pair #(command) may now contain (escaped) right parenthesis.
1073:
1074: 30 January 2009
1075:
1076: * . now bound to "command-prompt 'move-window %%'" by default, from joshe.
1077:
1078: 29 January 2009
1079:
1080: * Window options to set status line fg, bg and attributes for a single
1081: window. Options are: window-status-fg, window-status-bg,
1082: window-status-attr. Set to "default" to use the session status colours.
1083:
1084: This allows quite neat things like:
1085:
1086: $ cat ~/bin/xssh
1087: #!/bin/sh
1088:
1089: if [ ! -z "$TMUX" ]; then
1090: case "$1" in
1091: natalya)
1092: tmux setw window-status-fg red >/dev/null
1093: ;;
1094: natasha)
1095: tmux setw window-status-fg yellow >/dev/null
1096: ;;
1097: esac
1098: fi
1099: ssh "$@"
1100: [ ! -z "$TMUX" ] && tmux setw -u window-status-fg >/dev/null
1101: $ alias ssh="~/bin/xssh"
1102:
1103: * Support #(command) in status-left, and status-right, which is displayed as
1104: the first line of command's output (e.g. set -g status-right
1105: "#(whoami)@#(hostname -s)"). Commands with )s aren't supported.
1106:
1107: 28 January 2009
1108:
1109: * Support mouse in copy mode to move cursor. Can't do anything else at the
1110: moment until other mouse modes are handled.
1111: * Better support for at least the most common variant of mouse input: parse it
1112: and adjust for different panes. Also support mouse in window/session choice
1113: mode.
1114:
1115: 27 January 2009
1116:
1117: * Bring back the fancy window titles with session/window names: it is easy to
1118: work around problems with elinks (see FAQ).
1119: * -u flag to scroll-mode and copy-mode to start scrolled one page
1120: up. scroll-mode -u is bound to prefix,page-up (ppage) by default.
1121: * Allow status, mode and message attributes to be changed by three new options:
1122: status-attr, mode-attr, message-attr. A comma-separated list is accepted
1123: containing: bright, dim, underscore, blink, reverse, hidden, italics, for
1124: example:
1125:
1126: set -g status-attr bright,blink
1127:
1128: From Josh Elsasser, thanks!
1129:
1130: 26 January 2009
1131:
1132: * Be more clever about picking the right process to create the window name.
1133: * Don't balls up the terminal on UTF-8 combined characters. Don't support them
1134: properly either - they are just discarded for the moment.
1135:
1136: 25 January 2009
1137:
1138: * load-buffer command
1139:
1140: 23 January 2009
1141:
1142: * Use reverse colours rather than swapping fg and bg for message, mode and
1143: status line. This makes these usable on black and white terminals.
1144: * Better error messages when creating a session or window fails.
1145: * Oops. Return non-zero on error. Reported by Will Maier.
1146:
1147: 21 January 2009
1148:
1149: * Handle SIGTERM (and kill-server which uses it), a bit more neatly - tidy
1150: up properly and print a nicer message. Same effect though :-).
1151: * new-window now supports -k to kill target window if it exists.
1152: * Bring back split-window -p and -l options to specify the height a percentage
1153: or as a number of lines.
1154: * Make window and session choice modes allow you to choose items in vi keys
1155: mode (doh!). As a side-effect, this makes enter copy selection (as well
1156: as C-w/M-w) when using emacs keys in copy mode. Reported by merdely.
1157:
1158: 20 January 2009
1159:
1160: * Darwin support for automatic-rename from joshe; Darwin doesn't seem to have
1161: a sane method of getting argv[0] and searching for the precise insane way
1162: is too frustrating, so this just uses the executable name.
1163: * Try to change the window title to match the command running it in. This is
1164: done by reading argv[0] from the process group leader of the group that owns
1165: the tty (tcgetpgrp()). This can't be done portably so some OS-dependent code
1166: is introduced (ugh); OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Linux are supported at the moment.
1167:
1168: A new window flag, automatic-rename, is available: if this is set to off, the
1169: window name is not changed. Specifying a name with the new-window,
1170: new-session or rename-window commands will automatically set this flag to off
1171: for the window in question. To disable it entirely set the option to off
1172: globally (setw -g automatic-rename off).
1173:
1174: 19 January 2009
1175:
1176: * Fix various stupid issues when the status line is turned off. Grr.
1177: * Use reverse attributes for clock and cursor, otherwise they do not
1178: appear on black and white terminals.
1179: * An error in a command sequence now stops execution of that sequence.
1180: Internally, each command code now passes a return code back rather than
1181: talking to the calling client (if any) directly.
1182: * attach-session now tries to start the server if it isn't already started - if
1183: no sessions are created in .tmux.conf this will cause an error.
1184: * Clean up starting server by making initial client get a special socketpair.
1185:
1186: 18 January 2009
1187:
1188: * Unbreak UTF-8.
1189: * -a flag to next-window and previous-window to select the next or previous
1190: window with activity or bell. Bound to M-n and M-p.
1191: * find-window command to search window names, titles and visible content (but
1192: not history) for a string. If only one is found, the window is selected
1193: otherwise a choice list is shown. This (as with the other choice commands)
1194: only works from a key. Bound to "f" by default.
1195: * Cleaned up command printing code, also enclose arguments with spaces in "s.
1196: * Added command sequences. These are entered by separating each argument by a ;
1197: argument (spaces on both sides), for example:
1198:
1199: lsk ; lsc
1200:
1201: To use a literal ; as the argument prefix it with \, for example:
1202:
1203: bind x lsk \; lsc
1204:
1205: Commands are executed from left to right. Also note that command sequences do
1206: not support repeat-time repetition unless all commands making up the sequence
1207: support it.
1208: * suspend-client command to suspend a client. Don't try to background it
1209: though...
1210: * Mark attached sessions in sessions lists. Suggested by Simon Kuhnle.
1211:
1212: 17 January 2009
1213:
1214: * tmux 0.6 released.
1215:
1216: 15 January 2009
1217:
1218: * Support #H for hostname and #S for session name in status-left/right.
1219: * Two new commands, choose-window and choose-session which work only when bound
1220: to a key and allow the window or session to be selected from a list. These
1221: are now bound to "w" and "s" instead of the list commands.
1222:
1223: 14 January 2009
1224:
1225: * Rework the prefix-time stuff. The option is now called repeat-time and
1226: defaults to 500 ms. It only applies to a small subset of commands, currently:
1227: up-pane, down-pane, next-window, previous-window, resize-pane-up,
1228: resize-pane-down. These are the commands for which it is obviously useful,
1229: having it for everything else was just bloody annoying.
1230: * The alt-up and alt-down keys now resize a pane by five lines at a time.
1231: * switch-pane is now select-pane and requires -p to select a pane. The
1232: "o" key binding is changed to down-pane.
1233: * up-pane and down-pane commands, bound to arrow up and down by default.
1234: * Multiple vertical window splitting. Minimum pane size is four lines, an
1235: (unhelpful) error will be shown if attempting to split a window with less
1236: that eight lines. If the window is resized, as many panes are shown as can
1237: fit without reducing them below four lines. There is (currently!) not a way
1238: to show a hidden pane without making the window larger.
1239:
1240: Note the -p and -l options to split-window are now gone, these may reappear
1241: once I think them through again.
1242: * Server locking on inactivity (lock-after-time) is now disabled by default.
1243:
1244: 13 January 2009
1245:
1246: * kill-pane command.
1247:
1248: 12 January 2009
1249:
1250: * command-prompt now accepts a single argument, a template string. Any
1251: occurrences of %% in this string are replaced by whatever is entered at the
1252: prompt and the result is executed as a command. This allows things like (now
1253: bound by default):
1254:
1255: bind , command-prompt "rename-window %%"
1256:
1257: Or my favourite:
1258:
1259: bind x command-prompt "split-window 'man %%'"
1260:
1261: * Option to set prefix time, allowing multiple commands to be entered without
1262: pressing the prefix key again, so long as they each typed within this time of
1263: each other.
1264: * Yet more hacks for key handling. Think it is just about working now.
1265: * Two commands, resize-pane-up and resize-pane-down to resize a pane.
1266: * Make the window pane code handle panes of different sizes, and add a -l
1267: and -p arguments to split-window to specify the new window size in lines
1268: or as a percentage.
1269:
1270: 11 January 2009
1271:
1272: * Vertical window splitting. Currently can only split a window into two panes.
1273: New split-window command splits (bound to ") and switch-pane command (bound to
1274: o) switches between panes.
1275:
1276: close-pane, swap-pane commands are to follow. Also to come are pane resizing,
1277: >2 panes, the ability to break a pane out to a full window and vice versa and
1278: possibly horizontal splitting.
1279:
1280: Panes are subelements of windows rather than being windows in their own
1281: right. I tried to make them windows (so the splitting was at the session or
1282: client level) but this rapidly became very complex and invasive. So in the
1283: interests of having something working, I just made it so each window can have
1284: two child processes instead of one (and it still took me 12 hours straight
1285: coding). Now the concept is proven and much of the support code is there,
1286: this may change in future if more flexibility is needed.
1287: * save-buffer command, from Tiago Cunha.
1288:
1289: 10 January 2009
1290:
1291: * New option, lock-after-time. If there is no activity in the period specified
1292: by this option (in seconds), tmux will lock the server. Default is 1800 (30
1293: minutes), set to 0 to disable.
1294: * Server locking. Two new commands: set-password to set a password (a
1295: preencrypted password may be specified with -c); and lock-server to lock the
1296: server until the password is entered. Also an additional command line flag,
1297: -U, to unlock from the shell. The default password is blank (any password
1298: accepted). If specifying an encrypted password from encrypt(1) in .tmux.conf
1299: with -c, don't forget to enclose it in single-quotes (') to prevent shell
1300: variable expansion.
1301: * If a window is created from the command line, tmux will now use the same
1302: current working directory for the new process. A new default-path option to
1303: sets the working directory for processes created from keys or interactively
1304: from the prompt.
1305: * New mode to display a large clock. Entered with clock-mode command (bound to
1306: C-b t by default); two window options: clock-mode-colour and clock-mode-style
1307: (12 or 24). This will probably be used as the basis for window locking.
1308: * New command, server-info, to show some server information and terminal
1309: details.
1310:
1311: 09 January 2009
1312:
1313: * Stop using ncurses variables and instead build a table of the codes we want
1314: into an array for each terminal type. This makes the code a little more
1315: untidy in places but gets rid of the awful global variables and calling
1316: setterm all the time, and shoves all the ncurses-dependent mess into a single
1317: file, tty-term.c. It also allows overriding single terminal codes, this is
1318: used to fix rxvt on some platforms (where it is missing dch) and in future
1319: may allow user customisation a la vim.
1320: * Update key handling code. Simplify, support ctrl properly and add a new
1321: window option (xterm-keys) to output xterm key codes including ctrl and,
1322: if available, alt and shift.
1323:
1324: 08 January 2009
1325:
1326: * If built without DEBUG (the release versions), don't cause a fatal error if
1327: the grid functions notice an input error, just log and ignore the
1328: request. This might mean me getting shouted at less often when bugs kill
1329: long-running sessions, at least in release versions.
1330: * Hopefully fix cursor out-of-bounds checking when writing to grid. When I
1331: wrote the code I must have forgotten that the cursor can be one cell off the
1332: right of the screen (yes, I know), so there were number of out-of-bounds/
1333: overflow problems.
1334:
1335: 07 January 2009
1336:
1337: * New flag to set and setw, -u, to unset an option (allowing it to inherit from)
1338: the global options again.
1339: * Added more info messages for options changes.
1340: * A bit of tidying and reorganisation of options code.
1341:
1342: 06 January 2009
1343:
1344: * Don't crash when backspacing if cursor is off the right of the screen,
1345: reported by David Chisnall.
1346: * Complete words at any point inside command in prompt, also use option name
1347: as well as command names.
1348: * Per-client prompt history of up to 100 items.
1349: * Use a splay tree for key bindings instead of an array. As a side-effect this
1350: sorts them when listed.
1351:
1352: 22 December 2008
1353:
1354: * Use the right keys for home and end.
1355:
1356: 20 December 2008
1357:
1358: * Add vim mode for tmux configuration file to examples/, from Tiago Cunha.
1359:
1360: 15 December 2008
1361:
1362: * New command, source-file (alias source), to load a configuration
1363: file. Written by Tiago Cunha, many thanks.
1364:
1365: 13 December 2008
1366:
1367: * Work around lack of dch. On Linux, the rxvt termcap doesn't have it (it is
1368: lying, but we can't really start disbelieving termcaps...). This is a bit
1369: horrible - I can see no way to do it without pretty much redrawing the whole
1370: line, but it works...
1371:
1372: 10 December 2008
1373:
1374: * glibc's getopt(3) is useless: it is not POSIX compliant without jumping
1375: through non-portable hoops, and the method of resetting it is unclear (the
1376: man page on my system says set optind to 1, but other sources say 0). So,
1377: import OpenBSD's getopt_long.c into compat/ for use on Linux and use the
1378: clearly documented optreset = optind = 1 method. This fixes some strange
1379: issues with command parsing (getting the syntax wrong would prevent any
1380: further commands being parsed).
1381:
1382: 06 December 2008
1383:
1384: * Bring set/setw/show/showw into line with other commands. This means that by
1385: default they now affect the current window (if any); the new -g flag must be
1386: passed to set the global options. This changes the behaviour of set/show and
1387: WILL BREAK CURRENT CONFIGURATIONS.
1388:
1389: In summary, whether in the configuration file, the command prompt, or a key
1390: binding, use -g to set a global option, use -t to specify a particular window
1391: or session, or omit both to try and use the current window or session.
1392:
1393: This makes set/show a bit of a pain but is the correct behaviour for
1394: setw/showw and is the same as every other command, so we can put up with a
1395: bit of pain for consistency.
1396: * Redo window options. They now work in the same way to session options with a
1397: global options set. showw/setw commands now have similar syntax to show/set
1398: (including the ability to use abbreviations).
1399:
1400: PLEASE NOTE this includes the following configuration-breaking changes:
1401:
1402: - remain-by-default is now GONE, use "setw -g remain-on-exit" to apply the
1403: global window option instead;
1404: - mode-keys is now a window option rather than session - use "setw [-g]
1405: mode-keys" instead of set.
1406:
1407: There are also some additions:
1408:
1409: - message-fg and message-bg session options to control status line message
1410: colours;
1411: - mode-fg and mode-bg window options to set colours in window modes such as
1412: copy mode.
1413:
1414: The options code still a mess and now there is twice as much of it :-(.
1415:
1416: 02 December 2008
1417:
1418: * Add support for including the window title in status-left or status-right
1419: strings by including the character pair "#T". This may be prefixed with
1420: a number to specify a maximum length, for example "#24T" to use at most
1421: 24 characters of the title.
1422: * Introduce two new options, status-left-length and status-right-length,
1423: control the maximum length of left and right components of the status bar.
1424: * elinks (and possibly others) bypass the terminal and talk directly to X to
1425: restore the window title when exiting. tmux can't know about this particular
1426: bit of stupidity so the title ends up strange - the prefix isn't terribly
1427: important and elinks is quite useful so just get rid of it.
1428:
1429: 27 November 2008
1430:
1431: * Tweaks to support Dragonfly.
1432:
1433: 17 November 2008
1434:
1435: * tmux 0.5 released.
1436:
1437: 16 November 2008
1438:
1439: * New window option: "utf8"; this must be on (it is off by default) for UTF-8
1440: to be parsed. The global/session option "utf8-default" controls the setting
1441: for new windows.
1442:
1443: This means that by default tmux does not handle UTF-8. To use UTF-8 by
1444: default it is necessary to a) "set utf8-default on" in .tmux.conf b) start
1445: tmux with -u on any terminal which support UTF-8.
1446:
1447: It seems a bit unnecessary for this to be a per-window option but that is
1448: the easiest way to do it, and it can't do any harm...
1449: * Enable default colours if op contains \033[39;49m, based on a report from
1450: fulvio ciriaco.
1451:
1452: 12 November 2008
1453:
1454: * Keep stack of last windows rather than just most recent; based on a diff from
1455: joshe.
1456:
1457: 04 November 2008
1458:
1459: * Don't try to redraw status line when showing a prompt or message; if it does,
1460: the status timer is never reset so it redraws on every loop. Spotted by
1461: joshe.
1462:
1463: 09 October 2008
1464:
1465: * Translate 256 colours into 16 if 256 is not available, same as screen does.
1466: * Better support for OSC command (only to set window title now), and also
1467: support using APC for the same purpose (some Linux default shell profiles do
1468: this).
1469:
1470: 25 September 2008
1471:
1472: * Large internal rewrite to better support 256 colours and UTF-8. Screen data
1473: is now stored as single two-way array of structures rather than as multiple
1474: separate arrays. Also simplified a lot of code.
1475:
1476: Only external changes are three new flags, -2, -d and -u, which force tmux to
1477: assume the terminal supports 256 colours, default colours (useful for
1478: xterm-256color which lacks the AX flag), or UTF-8 respectively.
1479:
1480: 10 September 2008
1481:
1482: * Split off colour conversion code from screen code.
1483:
1484: 09 September 2008
1485:
1486: * Initial UTF-8 support. A bit ugly and with a limit of 4096 UTF-8
1487: characters per window.
1488:
1489: 08 September 2008
1490:
1491: * 256 colour support. tmux attempts to autodetect the terminal by looking
1492: both at what ncurses reports (usually wrong for xterm) and checking if
1493: the TERM contains "256col". For xterm TERM=xterm-256color is needed (as
1494: well as a build that support 256 colours); this seems to work for rxvt
1495: as well. On non-256 colour terminals, high colours are translated to white
1496: foreground and black background.
1497:
1498: 28 August 2008
1499:
1500: * Support OS X/Darwin thanks to bsd-poll.c from OpenSSH. Also convert
1501: from clock_gettime(2) to gettimeofday(2) as OS X doesn't support the
1502: former; microsecond accuracy will have to be sufficient ;-).
1503:
1504: 07 August 2008
1505:
1506: * Lose some unused/useless wrapper functions.
1507:
1508: 25 July 2008
1509:
1510: * Shell variables may now be defined and used in configuration file. Define
1511: variables with:
1512:
1513: VAR=1
1514:
1515: And use with:
1516:
1517: renamew ${VAR}
1518: renamew "x${VAR}x"
1519:
1520: Also some other fixes to make, for example, "abc""abc" work similarly to
1521: the shell.
1522:
1523: 24 July 2008
1524:
1525: * Finally lose inconsistently-used SCREEN_DEF* defines.
1526: * If cursor mode is on, switch the arrow keys from \033[A to \033OA.
1527: * Support the numeric keypad in both application and numbers mode. This is
1528: different from screen which always keeps it in application mode.
1529:
1530: 19 July 2008
1531:
1532: * Unbreak "set status" - tmux thought it was ambiguous, reported by rivo nurges.
1533:
1534: 02 July 2008
1535:
1536: * Split vi and emacs mode keys into two tables and add an option (mode-keys)
1537: to select between them. Default is emacs, use,
1538:
1539: tmux set mode-keys vi
1540:
1541: to change to vi.
1542:
1543: vi mode uses space to start selection, enter to copy selection and escape
1544: to clear selection.
1545:
1546: 01 July 2008
1547:
1548: * Protocol versioning. Clients which identify as a different version from the
1549: server will be rejected.
1550: * tmux 0.4 released.
1551:
1552: 29 June 2008
1553:
1554: * Zombie windows. These are not closed when the child process dies. May be
1555: set for a window with the new "remain-on-exit" option; the default setting
1556: of this flag for new windows may be set with the "remain-by-default" session
1557: option.
1558:
1559: A window may be restarted with the respawn-window command:
1560:
1561: respawn-window [-k] [command]
1562:
1563: If -k is given, any existing process running in the window is killed;
1564: if command is omitted, the same command as when the window was first
1565: created is used.
1566:
1567: 27 June 2008
1568:
1569: * Handle nonexistent session or client to -t properly.
1570:
1571: 25 June 2008
1572:
1573: * select-prompt command to allow a window to be selected at a prompt. Only
1574: windows in the current session may be selected. Bound to ' by default.
1575: Suggested by merdely.
1576: * move-window command. Requested by merdely.
1577: * Support binding alt keys (prefixed with M-). Change default to use
1578: C- for ctrl keys (^ is still accepted as an alternative).
1579: * Slim down default key bindings: support lowercase only.
1580: * Handle escaped keys properly (parse eg \033b into a single key code) and
1581: use this to change copy mode next/previous work to M-f and M-b to match
1582: emacs.
1583:
1584: 24 June 2008
1585:
1586: * Next word (C-n/w) and previous word (C-b/b) in copy mode.
1587:
1588: 23 June 2008
1589:
1590: * list-commands command (alias lscm).
1591: * Split information about options into a table and use it to parse options
1592: on input (allowing abbreviations) and to print them with show-options
1593: (meaning that bell-action gets a proper string). This turned out a bit ugly
1594: though :-/.
1595:
1596: 22 June 2008
1597:
1598: * Do not translate black and white into default if the terminal supports
1599: default colours. This was nice to force programs which didn't use default
1600: colours to be properly transparent in rxvt/aterm windows with a background
1601: image, but it causes trouble if someone redefines the default foreground and
1602: background (to have black on white or something).
1603:
1604: 21 June 2008
1605:
1606: * Naive tab completion in the command prompt. This only completes command
1607: names if a) they are at the start of the text b) the cursor is at
1608: the end of the text c) the text contains no spaces.
1609: * Only attempt to set the title where TERM looks like an xterm (contains
1610: "xterm", "rxvt" or is "screen"). I hate this but I don't see a better way:
1611: setting the title actually kills some other terminals pretty much dead.
1612: * Strip padding out of terminfo(5) strings. Currently the padding is just
1613: ignored, this may need to be altered if there are any software terminals
1614: out there that actually need it.
1615:
1616: 20 June 2008
1617:
1618: * buffer-limit option to set maximum size of buffer stack. Default is 9.
1619: * Initial buffer improvements. Each session has a stack of buffers and each
1620: buffer command takes a -b option to manipulate items on the stack. If -b
1621: is omitted, the top entry is used. The following commands are currently
1622: available:
1623:
1624: set-buffer [-b index] [-t target-session] string
1625: paste-buffer [-d] [-b index] [-t target-window]
1626: delete-buffer [-b index] [-t target-session]
1627: show-buffers [-t target-session]
1628: show-buffer [-b index] [-t target-session]
1629:
1630: -d to paste-buffer deletes the buffer after pasting it.
1631: * New option, display-time, sets the time status line messages stay on screen
1632: (unless a key is pressed). Set in milliseconds, default is 750 (0.75 seconds).
1633: The timer is only checked every 100 ms or so.
1634:
1635: 19 June 2008
1636:
1637: * Use "status" consistently for status line option, and prefix for "prefix" key
1638: option.
1639: * Allow commands to be entered at a prompt. This is triggered with the
1640: command-prompt command, bound to : by default.
1641: * Show status messages properly, without blocking the server.
1642:
1643: 18 June 2008
1644:
1645: * New option, set-titles. On by default, this attempts to set the window title
1646: using the \e]2;...\007 xterm code.
1647:
1648: Note that elinks requires the STY environment variable (used by screen) to be
1649: set before it will set the window title. So, if you want window titles set by
1650: elinks, set STY before running it (any value will do). I can't do this for all
1651: windows since setting it to an invalid value breaks screen.
1652: * Show arrows at either end of status line when scrolled if more windows
1653: exist. Highlight the arrow if a hidden window has activity or bell.
1654: * Scroll the status line to show the current window if necessary. Also handle
1655: windows smaller than needed better (show a blank status line instead of
1656: hanging or crashing).
1657:
1658: 17 June 2008
1659:
1660: * tmux 0.3 released.
1661:
1662: 16 June 2008
1663:
1664: * Add some information messages when window options are changed, suggested by
1665: Mike Erdely. Also add a -q command-line option to suppress them.
1666: * show-window-options (showw) command.
1667:
1668: 15 June 2008
1669:
1670: * show-options (show) command to show one or all options.
1671:
1672: 14 June 2008
1673:
1674: * New window options: force-width and force-height. This will force a window
1675: to an arbitrary width and height (0 for the default unlimited). This is
1676: neat for emacs which doesn't have a sensible way to force hard wrapping at 80
1677: columns. Also, don't try to be clever and use clr_eol when redrawing the
1678: whole screen, it causes trouble since the redraw functions are used to draw
1679: the blank areas too.
1680: * Clear the blank area below windows properly when they are smaller than client,
1681: also add an indicator line to show the vertical limit.
1682: * Don't die on empty strings in config file, reported by Will Maier.
1683:
1684: 08 June 2008
1685:
1686: * Set socket mode +x if any sessions are attached and -x if not.
1687:
1688: 07 June 2008
1689:
1690: * Make status-interval actually changeable.
1691:
1692: 06 June 2008
1693:
1694: * New window option: aggressive-resize. Normally, windows are resized to the
1695: size of the smallest attached session to which they are linked. This means a
1696: window only changes size when sessions are detached or attached, or they are
1697: linked or unlinked from a session. This flag changes a window to be the size
1698: of the smallest attached session for which it is the current window - it is
1699: resized every time a session changes to it or away from it. This is nice for
1700: things that handle SIGWINCH well (like irssi) and bad for things like shells.
1701: * The server now exits when no sessions remain.
1702: * Fix bug with inserting characters with TERM=xterm-color.
1703:
1704: 05 June 2008
1705:
1706: * Completely reorganise command parsing. Much more common code in cmd-generic.c
1707: and a new way of specifying windows, clients or sessions. Now, most commands
1708: take a -t argument, which specifies a client, a session, or a window target.
1709: Clients and sessions are given alone (sessions are fnmatch(3)d and
1710: clients currently not), windows are give by (client|session):index. For
1711: example, if a user is in session "1" window 0 on /dev/ttypi, these should all
1712: be equivalent:
1713:
1714: tmux renamew newname (current session and window)
1715: tmux renamew -t: newname (current session and window)
1716: tmux renamew -t:0 newname (current session, window 0)
1717: tmux renamew -t0 newname (current session, window 0)
1718: tmux renamew -t1:0 newname (session 1, window 0)
1719: tmux renamew -t1: newname (session 1's current window)
1720: tmux renamew -t/dev/ttypi newname (client /dev/ttypi's current
1721: session and window)
1722: tmux renamew -t/dev/ttypi: newname (client /dev/ttypi's current
1723: session and window)
1724: tmux renamew -t/dev/ttypi:0 newname (client /dev/ttypi's current
1725: session, window 0)
1726:
1727: This does have some downsides, for example, having to use -t on selectw,
1728:
1729: tmux selectw -t7
1730:
1731: is annoying. But then using non-flagged arguments would mean renaming the
1732: current window would need to be something like:
1733:
1734: tmux renamew : newname
1735:
1736: It might be better not to try and be so consistent; comments to the usual
1737: address ;-).
1738: * Infrastructure for printing arguments in list-keys output. Easy ones only for
1739: now.
1740:
1741: 04 June 2008
1742:
1743: * Add some vi(1) key bindings in copy mode, and support binding ^[, ^\, ^]
1744: ^^ and ^_. Both from/prompted by Will Maier.
1745: * setw monitor-activity and set status without arguments now toggle the current
1746: value; suggested by merdely.
1747: * New command set-window-option (alias setw) to set the single current window
1748: option: monitor-activity to determine whether window activity is shown in
1749: the status bar for that window (default off).
1750: * Change so active/bell windows are inverted in status line.
1751: * Activity monitoring - window with activity are marked in status line. No
1752: way to disable this/filter windows yet.
1753: * Brought select-window command into line with everything else; it now uses
1754: -i for the window index.
1755: * Strings to display on the left and right of the status bar may now be set
1756: with the status-left and status-right options. These are passed through
1757: strftime(3) before being displayed. The status bar is automatically updated
1758: at an interval set by the status-interval option. The default is to display
1759: nothing on the left and the date and time on the left; the default update
1760: interval is 15 seconds.
1761:
1762: 03 June 2008
1763:
1764: * Per session options. Setting options without specifying a session sets the
1765: global options as normal (global options are inherited by all sessions);
1766: passing -c or -s will set the option only for that session.
1767: * Because a client has a session attached, any command needing a session can
1768: take a client and use its session. So, anything that used to accept -s now
1769: accepts -c as well.
1770: * -s to specify session name now supports fnmatch(3) wildcards; if multiple
1771: sessions are found, or if no -s is specified, the most newly created is used.
1772: * If no command is specified, assume new-session. As a byproduct, clean up
1773: command default values into separate init functions.
1774: * kill-server command.
1775:
1776: 02 June 2008
1777:
1778: * New command, start-server (alias "start"), to start the tmux server and do
1779: nothing else. This is good if you have a configuration file which creates
1780: windows or sessions (like me): in that case, starting the server the first
1781: time tmux new is run is bad since it creates a new session and window (as
1782: it is supposed to - starting the server is a side-effect).
1783:
1784: Instead, I have a little script which does the equivalent of:
1785:
1786: tmux has -s0 2>/dev/null || tmux start
1787: tmux attach -d -s0
1788:
1789: And I use it to start the server if necessary and attach to my primary
1790: session.
1791: * Basic configuration file in ~/.tmux.conf or specified with -f. This is file
1792: contains a set of tmux commands that are run the first time the server is
1793: started. The configuration commands are executed before any others, so
1794: if you have a configuration file that contains:
1795:
1796: new -d
1797: neww -s0
1798:
1799: And you do the following without an existing server running:
1800:
1801: tmux new
1802:
1803: You will end up with two sessions, session 0 with two windows (created by
1804: the configuration file) and your client attached to session 1 with one
1805: window (created by the command-line command). I'm not completely happy with
1806: this, it seems a little non-obvious, but I haven't yet decided what to do
1807: about it.
1808:
1809: There is no environment variable handling or other special stuff yet.
1810:
1811: In the future, it might be nice to be able to have per-session configuration
1812: settings, probably by having conditionals in the file (so you could, for
1813: example, have commands to define a particular window layout that would only
1814: be invoked if you called tmux new -smysession and mysession did not already
1815: exist).
1816: * BIG CHANGE: -s and -c to specify session name and client name are now passed
1817: after the command rather than before it. So, for example:
1818:
1819: tmux -s0 neww
1820:
1821: Becomes:
1822:
1823: tmux neww -s0
1824:
1825: This is to allow them to be used in the (forthcoming) configuration file
1826: THIS WILL BREAK ANY CURRENT SCRIPTS OR ALIASES USING -s OR -c.
1827:
1828: 01 June 2008
1829:
1830: * Bug fix: don't die if -k passed to link-window and the destination doesn't
1831: exist.
1832: * New command, send-keys, will send a set of keys to a window.
1833:
1834: 31 May 2008
1835:
1836: * Fix so tmux doesn't hang if the initial window fails for some reason. This
1837: was highlighted by problems on Darwin, thanks to Elias Pipping for the report
1838: and access to a test account. (tmux still won't work on Darwin since its
1839: poll(2) is broken.)
1840:
1841: 02 January 2008
1842:
1843: * Don't attempt to reset the tty on exit if it has been closed externally.
1844:
1845: 06 December 2007
1846:
1847: * Restore checks for required termcap entries and add a few more obvious
1848: emulations.
1849: * Another major reorganisation, this time of screen handling. A new set of
1850: functions, screen_write_*, are now used to write to a screen and a tty
1851: simultaneously. These are used by the input parser to update the base
1852: window screen and also by the different modes which now interpose their own
1853: screen.
1854:
1855: 30 November 2007
1856:
1857: * Support \ek...\e\ to set window name.
1858:
1859: 27 November 2007
1860:
1861: * Enable/disable mouse when asked, if terminal claims to support it. Mouse
1862: sequences are just passed through unaltered for the moment.
1863: * Big internal reorganisation. Rather than leaving control of the tty solely in
1864: the client and piping all data through a socket to it, change so that the
1865: server opens the tty again and reads and writes to it directly. This avoids
1866: a lot of buffering and copying. Also reorganise the redrawing stuff so that
1867: everything goes through screen_draw_* - this makes the code simpler, but
1868: still needs broken up more, and all the ways of writing to screens should be
1869: more consistent.
1870:
1871: 26 November 2007
1872:
1873: * Rather than shifting up one line at a time once the history is full,
1874: shift by 10% of the history each time. This is faster.
1875: * Add ^A and ^E to copy mode to move to start-of-line/end-of-line.
1876:
1877: 24 November 2007
1878:
1879: * Support for alt charset mode (VT100 graphics characters).
1880:
1881: 23 November 2007
1882:
1883: * Mostly complete copy & paste. Copy mode entered with C-b [ (copy-mode
1884: command). In copy mode, arrow keys/page up/page down/hjkl/C-u/C-f navigate,
1885: space or C-space starts selection, and enter or C-w copies and (important!)
1886: exits copy mode. C-b ] (paste-buffer) pastes into current window. No
1887: extra utility keys (bol/eol/clear selection/etc), only one single buffer,
1888: and no buffer manipulation commands (clear/view/etc) yet. The code is also
1889: fugly :-(.
1890: * history-limit option to set maximum history. Does not apply retroactively to
1891: existing windows! Lines take up a variable amount of space, but a reasonable
1892: guess for an 80-column terminal is 250 KB per 1000 lines (of history used,
1893: an empty history takes no space).
1894:
1895: 21 November 2007
1896:
1897: * Create every line as zero length and only expand it as data is written,
1898: rather than creating at full size immediately.
1899: * Make command output (eg list-keys) go to a scrollable window similar to
1900: scroll mode.
1901: * Redo screen redrawing so it is a) readable b) split into utility functions
1902: that can be used outside screen.c. Use these to make scroll mode only
1903: redraw what it has to which gets rid of irritating flickering status box and
1904: makes it much faster.
1905: * Full line width memory and horizontal scrolling in history.
1906: * Initial support for scroll history. = to enter scrolling mode, and then
1907: vi keys or up/down/pgup/pgdown to navigate. Q to exit. No horizontal history
1908: yet (need per-line sizes) and a few kinks to be worked out (resizing while in
1909: history mode will probably cause trouble).
1910:
1911: 20 November 2007
1912:
1913: * Fix format string error with "must specify a client" message. Also
1914: sprinkle some printflike tags.
1915: * tmux 0.1 released.
1916:
1917: 17 November 2007
1918:
1919: * (nicm) Add -k option to link-window to kill target window if it exists.
1920:
1921: 16 November 2007
1922:
1923: * (nicm) Split in-client display into two columns. This is a hack but not a lot
1924: more so than that bit is already and it helps with lots of keys.
1925: * (nicm) switch-client command to switch client between different sessions. This
1926: is pretty cool:
1927:
1928: $ tmux bind q switch 0
1929: $ tmux bind w switch 1
1930:
1931: Then you can switch between sessions 0 and 1 with a key :-).
1932: * (nicm) Accept "-c client-tty" on command line to allow client manipulation
1933: commands, and change detach-/refresh-session to detach-/refresh-client (this
1934: loses the -a behaviour, but at some point -session versions may return, and
1935: -c will allow fnmatch(3)).
1936: * (nicm) List available commands on ambiguous command.
1937:
1938: 12 November 2007
1939:
1940: * (nicm) If the terminal supports default colours (AX present), force black
1941: background and white foreground to default. This is useful on transparent
1942: *terms for programs which don't do it themselves (like most(1)).
1943: * (nicm) Fill in the rest of the man page.
1944: * (nicm) kill-session command.
1945:
1946: 09 November 2007
1947:
1948: * (nicm) C-space is now "^ " not "^@".
1949: * (nicm) Support tab (\011).
1950: * (nicm) Initial man page outline.
1951: * (nicm) -V to show version.
1952: * (nicm) rename-session command.
1953:
1954: 08 November 2007
1955:
1956: * (nicm) Check for required terminal capabilities on start.
1957:
1958: 31 October 2007
1959:
1960: * (nicm) Linux port.
1961:
1962: 30 October 2007
1963:
1964: * (nicm) swap-window command. Same as link-window but swaps windows.
1965:
1966: 26 October 2007
1967:
1968: * (nicm) Saving scroll region on \e7 causes problems with ncmpc so I guess
1969: it is not required.
1970: * (nicm) unlink-window command.
1971: * (nicm) link-window command to link an existing window into another session
1972: (or another index in the same session). Syntax:
1973:
1974: tmux -s dstname link-window [-i dstidx] srcname srcidx
1975:
1976: * (nicm) Redo window data structures. The global array remains, but each per-
1977: session list is now a RB tree of winlink structures. This disassociates the
1978: window index from the array size (allowing arbitrary indexes) which still
1979: allowing windows to have multiple indexes.
1980:
1981: 25 October 2007
1982:
1983: * (nicm) has-session command: checks if session exists.
1984:
1985: 24 October 2007
1986:
1987: * (nicm) Support for \e6n to request cursor position. resize(1) now works.
1988: * (nicm) Support for \e7, \e8 save/restore cursor and attribute sequences.
1989: Currently don't save mode (probably should). Also change some cases where
1990: out-of-bound values are ignored to limit them to within range (there are
1991: others than need to be checked too).
1992:
1993: 23 October 2007
1994:
1995: * (nicm) Lift limit on session name passed with -s.
1996: * (nicm) Show size in session/window lists.
1997: * (nicm) Pass tty up to server when client identifies and add a list-clients
1998: command to list connected clients.
1999:
2000: 20 October 2007
2001:
2002: * (nicm) Add default-command option and change default to be $SHELL rather than
2003: $SHELL -l. Also try to read shell from passwd db if $SHELL isn't present.
2004:
2005: 19 October 2007
2006:
2007: * (nicm) -n on new-session is now -s, and -n is now the initial window name.
2008: This was documented but not implemented :-/.
2009: * (nicm) kill-window command, bound to & by default (because it should be hard
2010: to hit accidently).
2011: * (nicm) bell-style option with three choices: "none" completely ignore bell;
2012: "any" pass through a bell in any window to current; "current" ignore bells
2013: except in current window. This applies only to the bell terminal signal,
2014: the status bar always reflects any bells.
2015: * (nicm) Refresh session command.
2016:
2017: 12 October 2007
2018:
2019: * (nicm) Add a warning if $TMUX exists on new/attach.
2020: * (nicm) send-prefix command. Bound to C-b by default.
2021: * (nicm) set status, status-fg, status-bg commands. fg and bg are as a number
2022: from 0 to 8 or a string ("red", "blue", etc). status may be 1/0, on/off,
2023: yes/no.
2024: * (nicm) Make status line mark window in yellow on bell.
2025:
2026: 04 October 2007
2027:
2028: * (nicm) -d option to attach to detach all other clients on the same session.
2029: * (nicm) Partial resizing support. Still buggy. A C-b S and back sometimes fixes
2030: it when it goes wonky.
2031: * (mxey) Added my tmux start script as an example (examples/start-tmux.sh).
2032: * (mxey) New sessions can now be given a command for their first window.
2033: * (mxey) Fixed usage statement for new-window.
2034: * (nicm) attach-session (can't believe I forgot it until now!) and list-windows
2035: commands.
2036: * (nicm) rename-window and select-window commands.
2037: * (nicm) set-option command (alias set): "tmux set-option prefix ^A".
2038: * (nicm) Key binding and unbinding is back.
2039:
2040: 03 October 2007
2041:
2042: * (nicm) {new,next,last,previous}-window.
2043: * (nicm) Rewrite command handling so commands are much more generic and the
2044: same commands are used for command line and keys (although most will probably
2045: need to check how they are called). Currently incomplete (only new/detach/ls
2046: implemented). Change: -s is now passed before command again!
2047: * (nicm) String number arguments. So you can do: tmux bind ^Q create "blah".
2048: * (nicm) Key binding. tmux bind key command [argument] and tmux unbind key.
2049: Key names are in a table in key-string.c, plus A is A, ^A is ctrl-A.
2050: Possible commands are in cmd.c (look at cmd_bind_table).
2051: * (nicm) Move command parsing into the client. Also rename some messages and
2052: tidy up a few bits. Lots more tidying up needed :-/.
2053:
2054: 02 October 2007
2055:
2056: * (nicm) Redraw client status lines on rename.
2057: * (nicm) Error on ambiguous command.
2058:
2059: 01 October 2007
2060:
2061: * (nicm) Restore window title handling.
2062: * (nicm) Simple uncustomisable status line with window list.
2063:
2064: 30 September 2007
2065:
2066: * (nicm) Window info command for debugging, C-b I.
2067:
2068: 29 September 2007
2069:
2070: * (nicm) Deleting/inserting lines should follow scrolling region. Fix.
2071: * (nicm) Allow creation of detached sessions: "tmux new-session -d".
2072: * (nicm) Permit error messages to be passed back for transient clients like
2073: rename. Also make rename -i work.
2074: * (nicm) Pass through bell in any window to current.
2075:
2076: 28 September 2007
2077:
2078: * (nicm) Major rewrite of input parser:
2079: - Lose the old weirdness in favour of a state machine.
2080: - Merge in parsing from screen.c.
2081: - Split key parsing off into a separate file.
2082: This is step one towards hopefully allowing a status line. It requires
2083: that we output data as if the terminal had one line less than it really does -
2084: a serious problem when it comes to things like scrolling. This change
2085: consolidates all the range checking and limiting together which should make
2086: it easier.
2087: * (mxey) Added window renaming, like "tmux rename [-s session] [-i index] name"
2088:
2089: 27 September 2007
2090:
2091: * Split "tmux list" into "tmux list-sessions" (ls) and "list-windows" (lsw).
2092: * New command session selection:
2093: - if name is specified, look for it and use it if it exists, otherwise
2094: error
2095: - if no name specified, try the current session from $TMUX
2096: - if $TMUX doesn't exist, and there is only one session, use it,
2097: otherwise error
2098:
2099: 26 September 2007
2100:
2101: * Add command aliases, so "ls" is an alias for "list".
2102: * Rename some commands and alter syntax to take options after a la CVS. Also
2103: change some flags. So:
2104:
2105: tmux -s/socket -nabc new
2106:
2107: Becomes:
2108:
2109: tmux -S/socket new -sabc
2110:
2111: * Major tidy and split of client/server code.
2112:
2113: 22 September 2007
2114:
2115: * Window list command (C-b W). Started by Maximilian Gass, finished by me.
2116:
2117: 20 September 2007
2118:
2119: * Specify meta via environment variable (META).
2120: * Record last window and ^L key to switch to it. Largely from Maximilian Gass.
2121: * Reset ignored signals in child after forkpty, makes ^C work.
2122: * Wrap on next/previous. From Maximilian Gass.
2123:
2124: 19 September 2007
2125:
2126: * Don't renumber windows on close.
2127:
2128: 28 August 2007
2129:
2130: * Scrolling region (\e[r) support.
2131:
2132: 27 August 2007
2133:
2134: * Change screen.c to work more logically and hopefully fix heap corruption.
2135:
2136: 09 July 2007
2137:
2138: * Initial import to CVS. Basic functions are working, albeit with a couple of
2139: showstopper memory bugs and many missing features. Detaching, reattaching,
2140: creating new sessions, listing sessions work acceptably for using with shells.
2141: Simple curses programs (top, systat, tetris) and more complicated ones (mutt,
2142: emacs) that don't require scrolling regions (ESC[r) mostly work fine
2143: (including mutt, emacs). No status bar yet and no key remapping or other
2144: customisation.
