1.1     ! misho       1: - command bits and pieces:
        !             2:        * allow multiple targets: fnmatch for -t/-c, for example detach all
        !             3:          clients with -t*
        !             4:        * add -c for new-session like new-window
        !             5:        * ' and " should be parsed the same (eg "\e" vs '\e') in config
        !             6:          and command prompt
        !             7:        * last-pane across sessions
        !             8:        * resize-pane -p to match split-window -p
        !             9:        * flag to wait-for to have a timeout and/or to stop waiting when the
        !            10:          client gets a signal
        !            11: 
        !            12: - make command sequences more usable
        !            13:        * don't require space after ;
        !            14:        * options for error handling: && and ||?
        !            15: 
        !            16: - options bits and pieces:
        !            17:        * way to set socket path from config file
        !            18: 
        !            19: - format improvements:
        !            20:        * option to quote format (#{q:session_name})
        !            21:        * some way to pad # stuff with spaces
        !            22:        * formats to show if a window is linked into multiple sessions, into
        !            23:          multiple attached sessions, and is the active window in multiple
        !            24:          attached sessions?
        !            25: 
        !            26: - choose mode improvements:
        !            27:        * choose-pane command (augment choose-tree to do this?)
        !            28:        * flag to choose-* for sort order
        !            29:        * two choices (first one then second, for swap-pane and join-pane)
        !            30:        * choose modes should ditch the key bindings and just have fixed keys, and
        !            31:          be more customized to their purpose (d to delete a buffer for choose-buffer,
        !            32:          a preview of buffer contents, etc)
        !            33: 
        !            34: - improve monitor-*:
        !            35:        * straighten out rules for multiple clients
        !            36:        * think about what happens across sessions
        !            37:        * monitor changes within a region
        !            38:        * perhaps monitor /all/ panes in the window not just one
        !            39: 
        !            40: - improve mouse support:
        !            41:        * bind commands to mouse in different areas? 
        !            42:        * commands executed when clicking on a pattern (URL)
        !            43: 
        !            44: - warts on current naming:
        !            45:        * display-time but message-fg/bg/attr
        !            46:        * list-* vs show-*
        !            47: 
        !            48: - copy/paste improvements:
        !            49:        * paste w/o trailing whitespace
        !            50:        * command to toggle selection not to move it in copy-mode
        !            51:        * regex searching
        !            52:        * searching in copy mode should unwrap lines, so if you search for "foobar"
        !            53:          then it should be found even if it is now "foo\nbar" (if the WRAP flag
        !            54:          is set on the line)
        !            55:        * capture-pane option to preserve spaces but not join lines
        !            56:        * improve word and line selection in copy mode (for example when dragging
        !            57:          it should select by word. compare how xterm works. GitHub issue 682)
        !            58: 
        !            59: - layout stuff
        !            60:        * way to tag a layout as a number/name
        !            61:        * maybe keep last layout + size around and if size reverts just put it
        !            62:          back
        !            63:        * revamp layouts: they are too complicated, should be more closely
        !            64:          integrated, should support hints, layout sets should just be a
        !            65:          special case of custom layouts, and we should support panes that are
        !            66:          not attached to a cell at all. this could be the time to introduce
        !            67:          panelink to replace layout_cell
        !            68:        * way to set hints/limits about pane size for resizing
        !            69:        * panning over window (window larger than visible)
        !            70:        * a mode where one application can cross two panes (ie x|y, width =
        !            71:          COLUMNS/2 but height = ROWS * 2)
        !            72:        * separate active panes for different clients
        !            73: 
        !            74: - code cleanup
        !            75:        * instead of separate window and session options, just one master
        !            76:          options list with each option having a type (window or session), then
        !            77:          options on window, on session, and global. for window options we look
        !            78:          window->session->global, and for session we look session->global.
        !            79:          problem: what about windows in multiple sessions? there are contexts
        !            80:          where we do not know which session, or where multiple choices makes
        !            81:          no sense... could at least have one global list for all types of
        !            82:          global options and keep separate window,session lists
        !            83:        * the way pane, window, session destroy is handled is too complicated
        !            84:          and the distinction between session.c, window.c and server-fn.c
        !            85:          functions is not clear. could we just have kill_pane(),
        !            86:          kill_window(), unlink_window(), kill_session() that fix up all data
        !            87:          structures (flagging sessions as dead) and return a value to say
        !            88:          whether clients need to be checked for dead sessions? sort of like
        !            89:          session_detach now but more so. or some other scheme to make it
        !            90:          simpler and clearer? also would be nice to remove/rename server-fn.c
        !            91:        * more readable way to work out the various things commands need to
        !            92:          know about the client, notably:
        !            93:                - is this the config file? (cmdq->c == NULL)
        !            94:                - is this a command client? (cmdq->c != NULL &&
        !            95:                  cmdq->c->session == NULL)
        !            96:                - is this a control client?
        !            97:                - can i do stdin or stdout to this client?
        !            98:          or even guarantee that cmdq->c != NULL and provide a better way to
        !            99:          tell when in the config file - then we use cmdq->c if we need a
        !           100:          client w/o a session else cmd_current_client
        !           101: 
        !           102: - miscellaneous
        !           103:        * way to keep a job running just read its last line of output for #()
        !           104:        * link panes into multiple windows
        !           105:        * live update: server started with -U connects to server, requests
        !           106:          sessions and windows, receives file descriptors
        !           107:        * there are inconsistencies in what we get from old shell and what
        !           108:          comes from config for new sessions and windows. likewise, panes and
        !           109:          jobs and run-shell and lock command all start with slightly different
        !           110:          environments
        !           111:        * multiline status line? separate command prompt and status line?
        !           112:        * automatic pane logging
        !           113:        * marks in history, automatically add (move?) one when pane is changed
        !           114:        * this doesn't work, need pane reference count probably:
        !           115:          bind -n DoubleClick3Status confirm-before -p "kill-window #I? (y/n)" kill-window
        !           116: 
        !           117: - hooks
        !           118:        * more hooks for various things
        !           119:        * finish after hooks for special commands
        !           120:        * multiple hooks with the same name?
        !           121:        * finish hooks for notifys
        !           122:        * for session_closed, if no sessions at all, perhaps fake up a temporary one
