#

#
# There are 3 ways to create a tmux buffer:
#
# 1. invoke the `set-buffer` or `load-buffer` tmux commands
# 2. copy text in copy mode (`send -X copy-selection`, `copy-pipe`, ...)
# 3. send an OSC 52 sequence from an application inside tmux (e.g. `$ printf ...`)
#
# `1.` always creates a tmux buffer; never sets the X clipboard.
# `2.` always creates a tmux buffer; sets the X clipboard via OSC 52 iff `set-clipboard` is not `off`.
# `3.` creates a tmux buffer *and* sets the X clipboard via OSC 52 iff `set-clipboard` is `on`.
#
# IOW, `external` makes tmux *automatically* set the X clipboard when you yank
# sth in copy mode via OSC 52, while `on` does the same, but also allows an
# application to *manually* set a tmux buffer/the X clipboard via a OSC 52.

# Why do you move your 'terminal-overrides' settings in another file?{{{
#
# It makes it easier to source the settings only when the tmux server is started;
# not when we manually re-source `tmux.conf`.
#}}}
# Why do you need them to be sourced only once?{{{
#
# We *append* strings to the value of the 'terminal-overrides' option.
# I don't want to append the same strings again and again every time I re-source
# `tmux.conf`.
#}}}
# Why don't you simply reset the option before appending a value?{{{
#
# That would make us lose the default value of the option:
#
# terminal-overrides[0] "xterm*:XT:Ms=\\E]52;%p1%s;%p2%s\\007:Cs=\\E]12;%p1%s\\007:Cr=\\E]112\\007:Ss=\\E[%p1%d q:Se=\\E[2 q"
# terminal-overrides[1] screen*:XT
#
# ---
#
# Besides, one of the value we append to 'terminal-overrides' depends on the value of `$TERM`.
#
# if '[ "$TERM" != "st-256color" ]' 'set -as terminal-overrides ",*:Cr=\\E]112\\007"'
# ^----------------------^
#
# And the value of `$TERM` will be correct only the first time we source `tmux.conf`.
#}}}
# What's the value of `$TERM` here?{{{
#
# The first time our `tmux.conf` is sourced, it matches the `$TERM` of the
# outer terminal; the next times, it's the value of 'default-terminal' (i.e.
# 'tmux-256color').
#}}}
# What's the meaning of this `if` guard?{{{
#
# The condition `[ "$TERM" != "tmux-256color" ]` is true only the first time our
# `tmux.conf` is sourced.
# So, this part of the guard means: “if this is the first time the file is sourced”.
# This is equivalent to `has('vim_starting')` in Vim.
#
# The condition `[ -n "$DISPLAY" ]` is true only in a GUI environment.
# So, this part of the guard means: “don't source the file if we are in a console”.
# Indeed, I doubt a linux console is able to understand any sequence we might
# want to use.
#}}}
# Could we use `%if` instead of `if`?{{{
#
# You could try this:
#
# %if "#{!=:$TERM,#{default-terminal}}"
# source-file "$HOME/.config/tmux/terminal-overrides.conf"
# %endif
#
# But it doesn't seem to work; the guard would not prevent the file from being re-sourced.
# I think that's because, in this case, `$TERM` refers to the value in the
# environment of the tmux server process; and for the latter, `TERM` always
# matches the outer terminal.
#}}}
if '[ "$TERM" != "#{default-terminal}" -a -n "$DISPLAY" ]' { source "$HOME/.config/tmux/terminal-overrides.conf" }
# Leave `default-terminal` at the end.{{{
#
# In my limited testing, moving it above would not cause an issue, but better be
# safe than sorry.
# In particular, I want to be sure that the value of `$TERM` is not
# 'tmux-256color' the first time our `tmux.conf` is sourced; otherwise
# `terminal-overrides.conf` would never be sourced.
#}}}
# Why `-s` instead of `-g`? {{{
#
# Since tmux 2.1, `default-terminal` is a server option, not a session option.
#
# > As a side effect this changes default-terminal to be a server rather than a
# > session option.
#
# https://github.com/tmux/tmux/commit/7382ba82c5b366be84ca55c7842426bcf3d1f521
# Confirmed by the fact that `default-terminal` is described in the section of
# the server options in the man page.
# Also confirmed by the fact that it's listed in the output of:
#
# tmux show -s
#
# However, according to nicm:
#
# > You do not have to use -s or -w for set-option except for user options.
# > tmux can work it out from the option name.
# > For show-option you do need it.
#
# So, we could omit `-s`, but I prefer to be explicit.
#}}}
# Why not let tmux use the default value `screen` (for `$TERM`)?{{{
#
# By default, most terminals set `$TERM` to `xterm` because the `xterm` entry is
# present and set in the terminfo db of most machines.
# tmux sets it to `screen`, again, because it's a popular entry (more than the
# `tmux` one).
# The `xterm`/`screen` value implies that the terminal will declare supporting
# only 8 colors; confirmed by `$ tput colors`.
#
# Because of this, the theme of some programs might be off (including Vim and
# the terminal itself). We want the terminal to declare it supports 256 colors,
# which anyway is usually true.
#}}}
# Do we need `$TERM` to contain `tmux`?{{{
#
# Yes. To support italics:
#
# The `screen-256color` entry in the terminfo db doesn't have a `sitm` field.
# IOW, the db reports that screen is unable to support italics, which is true.
# So, if we set `$TERM` to `screen-256color`, when an application will want to
# make some text appear italicized, it will think it's not possible.
# But it *is* possible, because we use tmux, not screen. And tmux *does*
# support the italics style.
# The solution is to set `$TERM` to `tmux-256color` so that when an application
# queries the terminfo db, it finds the field `sitm` with the right value
# `\E[3m`.

# `256color`?{{{
#
# For a Vim color scheme to be correctly applied, no.

# The default value of the latter is `$SHELL` (atm: `/usr/local/bin/zsh`).
#
# When we create a new window, we want a *non*-login shell, because a login zsh
# shell sources `~/.zprofile`, which we use to execute code specific to a
# virtual *console* (set the background to white in the console).
# This code is not suited to a virtual *terminal*.
#
# More generally, we don't want a *non*-login shell to source login files
# (`.profile`, `.zprofile`, `.zlogin`).

# 2. thus `$ tmux showb` outputs nothing
# 3. urlscan finds no url
#
# You can get the same effect by running:
#
# $ tmux split-window 'urlscan =(echo "")'

# We name the tmux buffer so that we can remove it reliably at the end.{{{
#
# Indeed, you might copy some text while the urlscan pane is opened (not
# necessarily in the latter; in any session, window, pane), creating a new
# buffer at the top of the stack.
# If you just run `$ tmux deleteb`, it would remove that buffer instead of the
# buffer created by `capture-pane`.
#}}}
# Why `head -c -1`?{{{
#
# If there is no url in the tmux buffer, we want tmux to automatically close the
# pane. That's why we use `ifne(1)` later; it runs the second `urlscan(1)` on
# the condition that the output of the previous one is empty. The problem is
# that even when the first `urlscan(1)` fails to find any url, it still outputs
# a single newline. We need to remove it, so that `ifne(1)` works as expected.

# Plugins {{{1
# Why the guard?{{{
#
# To prevent the plugins from re-installing their key bindings every time we

# Indeed, we only unbind the key bindings from the copy-mode table once.
#
# Besides, it's probably a bad idea to resource plugins.

# Rebind {{{1
# Purpose:{{{
#
# The tmux-yank plugin installs this key binding:
#
# bind-key -T copy-mode-vi Y send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel "tmux paste-buffer"
#
# It copies the selection, quit copy mode, then paste the buffer.
#
# However, it doesn't support the bracketed paste mode.
# So we redefine the key binding, and pass `-p` to `paste-buffer` to surround
# the text with the sequences `Esc [ 200 ~` and `Esc [ 201 ~`.
# This way, if we select a text containing a newline, then press `p`, it's not
# automatically run by the shell.
#
# From `man tmux /^\s*paste-buffer`:
#
# > If -p is specified, paste bracket control codes are inserted around the
# > buffer if the application has requested bracketed paste mode.
#
# Note that this requires that the shell supports the bracketed paste mode.
# I.e. if you're using zsh, you need zsh version 5.1 or greater, and if you're
# using bash, you need bash 4.4 or greater.
#
# ---
#
# The `-p` option was added to tmux in the commit `f4fdddc`.
# According to the changelog, this was somewhere between tmux 1.6 and 1.7.
#
# ---
#
# Note that the original key binding used `copy-pipe-and-cancel` which – while
# working – doesn't make sense; you can't pipe anything to `$ tmux paste-buffer`,
# since it doesn't read its input.
