Could be; though the ideal for me would be to take something like Sadrul's lua extensibility stuff, and make it much more tweakable. I would definitely want a toggle or something to put this in, though: some folks prefer current behavior. For my part, the ideal would be to default to the current behavior, but for some commands switch to the first non-option argument (only). That's why programmable support would be nice. Though, really, I tend to name my windows based on high-level purpose, like "screen-build" or "wget-test", so I never use autoaka. - -- Micah J.
