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 The mode-keys 12: and status-keys options remain. 13: 14: The emacs-copy and vi-copy tables have been replaced by the copy-mode and 15: copy-mode-vi tables.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. 501: * More command-prompt editing improvements. 502: * Various manpage improvements. 503: * More Vi mode improvements. 504: 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. 594: * Backoff reworked. 595: * Prevent the server from dying when switching into copy mode when already 596: in a different mode. 597: * Reset running jobs when the status line is enabled or disabled. 598: * Simplify xterm modifier detection. 599: * Avoid crashing in copy mode if the screen size is too small for the 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. 628: * New window options other-pane-{height,width} added. 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. 659: * Allow dragging to make a selection in copy mode if the mode-mouse option is 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. 680: * Emulate the ri (reverse index) capability, ergo allowing tmux to at least 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. 724: * If attach-session was specified with the -r flag, make the client read-only. 725: * Per-window alternate-screen option. 726: * Make load-buffer work with FIFOs. 727: * New window option word-separators to set the characters considered as word 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 787: 788: * Option to alter the format of the window title set by tmux. 789: * Backoff for a while after multiple incorrect password attempts. 790: * Quick display of pane numbers (C-b q). 791: * Better choose-window, choose-session commands and a new choose-client command. 792: * Option to request multiple responses when using command-prompt. 793: * Improved environment handling. 794: * Combine wrapped lines when pasting. 795: * Option to override terminal settings (terminal-overrides). 796: * Use the full range of ACS characters for drawing pane separator lines. 797: * Customisable mode keys. 798: * Status line colour options, with embedded colours in status-left/right, and 799: an option to centre the window list. 800: * Much improved layouts, including both horizontal and vertical splitting. 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.
