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
