| - command bits and pieces: |
| * allow multiple targets: fnmatch for -t/-c, for example detach all |
| clients with -t* |
| * add -c for new-session like new-window |
| * ' and " should be parsed the same (eg "\e" vs '\e') in config |
| and command prompt |
| * last-pane across sessions |
| * list-keys should quote output so that bindings can just be used in |
| config file as-is |
| * resize-pane -p to match split-window -p |
| |
| - make command sequences more usable |
| * don't require space after ; |
| * options for error handling: && and ||? |
| |
| - options bits and pieces: |
| * set-remain-on-exit is a complete hack |
| * way to set socket path from config file |
| |
| - format improvements: |
| * option to quote format (#{q:session_name}) |
| * formats need conditions for >0 (for #P) |
| * some way to pad # stuff with spaces |
| * formats to show if a window is linked into multiple sessions, into |
| multiple attached sessions, and is the active window in multiple |
| attached sessions? |
| |
| - choose mode improvements: |
| * choose-pane command (augment choose-tree to do this?) |
| * choose-mode and copy-mode are very similar, make choose-mode a subset? |
| * flag to choose-* for sort order |
| * choose mode would be better per client than per window? |
| * two choices (first one then second, for swap-pane and join-pane) |
| * choose modes should ditch the key bindings and just have fixed keys, and |
| be more customized to their purpose (d to delete a buffer for choose-buffer, |
| a preview of buffer contents, etc) |
| |
| - improve monitor-*: |
| * straighten out rules for multiple clients |
| * think about what happens across sessions |
| * monitor changes within a region |
| * perhaps monitor /all/ panes in the window not just one |
| |
| - improve mouse support: |
| * bind commands to mouse in different areas? |
| * commands executed when clicking on a pattern (URL) |
| |
| - warts on current naming: |
| * display-time but message-fg/bg/attr |
| * list-* vs show-* |
| * split-window -> split-pane? |
| |
| - better UTF-8 support: |
| * message display |
| * prompt input |
| * searching in copy mode |
| |
| - copy/paste improvements: |
| * incremental searching |
| * paste w/o trailing whitespace |
| * command to toggle selection not to move it in copy-mode |
| * regex searching |
| * copy-pipe should have -x as well |
| * copy mode key bindings should just be a standard key table, using |
| something like "copy-mode start-selection"; it could use |
| command-prompt for search, goto, etc: |
| |
| bind -Temacs command-prompt -p'Search Up: ' 'copy-mode search-up %%' |
| |
| it'd need a separate lookup, because modes are per-pane, perhaps a |
| table() cb to give the table name ("vi" or "emacs"). anything in the |
| table fires the command, anything not in the table is injected as a |
| key |
| * searching in copy mode should unwrap lines, so if you seach for "foobar" |
| then it should be found even if it is now "foo\nbar" (if the WRAP flag |
| is set on the line) |
| |
| - layout stuff |
| * way to tag a layout as a number/name |
| * maybe keep last layout + size around and if size reverts just put it |
| back |
| * revamp layouts: they are too complicated, should be more closely |
| integrated, should support hints, layout sets should just be a |
| special case of custom layouts, and we should support panes that are |
| not attached to a cell at all. this could be the time to introduce |
| panelink to replace layout_cell |
| * way to set hints/limits about pane size for resizing |
| * panning over window (window larger than visible) |
| * a mode where one application can cross two panes (ie x|y, width = |
| COLUMNS/2 but height = ROWS * 2) |
| * general key to space cells out evenly (horiz or vert) within their |
| parent cell (could replace even-vert/even-horiz layouts) |
| * separate active panes for different clients |
| |
| - terminfo bits |
| * use a better termcap internally instead of screen, perhaps xterm |
| * use screen-256color when started on 256 colour terminal? |
| |
| - code cleanup |
| * instead of separate window and session options, just one master |
| options list with each option having a type (window or session), then |
| options on window, on session, and global. for window options we look |
| window->session->global, and for session we look session->global |
| * the way pane, window, session destroy is handled is too complicated |
| and the distinction between session.c, window.c and server-fn.c |
| functions is not clear. could we just have kill_pane(), |
| kill_window(), unlink_window(), kill_session() that fix up all data |
| structures (flagging sessions as dead) and return a value to say |
| whether clients need to be checked for dead sessions? sort of like |
| session_detach now but more so. or some other scheme to make it |
| simpler and clearer? also would be nice to remove/rename server-fn.c |
| * more readable way to work out the various things commands need to |
| know about the client, notably: |
| - is this the config file? (cmdq->c == NULL) |
| - is this a command client? (cmdq->c != NULL && |
| cmdq->c->session == NULL) |
| - is this a control client? |
| - can i do stdin or stdout to this client? |
| or even guarantee that cmdq->c != NULL and provide a better way to |
| tell when in the config file - then we use cmdq->c if we need a |
| client w/o a session else cmd_current_client |
| * we do more work than we should if a single read() contains operations |
| that cancel each other out: for example, writing twice to the same |
| cell, or writing and then clearing a line; it would be nice to |
| optimize these. would it mean processing the entire read() data first |
| then applying changes? or an initial optimization step? or something |
| else? |
| |
| - miscellaneous |
| * way to keep a job running just read its last line of output for #() |
| * link panes into multiple windows |
| * live update: server started with -U connects to server, requests |
| sessions and windows, receives file descriptors |
| * there are inconsistencies in what we get from old shell and what |
| comes from config for new sessions and windows. likewise, panes and |
| jobs and run-shell and lock command all start with slightly different |
| environments |
| * multiline status line? separate command prompt and status line? |
| * customizable command aliases |
| * automatic pane logging |
| * BCE? We are halfway there (output side is done for pane backgrounds), |
| just need to change how screen/grid handles erase |
