tmux screen functionality equivalents?

2012-08-18 Thread Edward Peschko
All, I've been using tmux all of 10 minutes, and so far I'm liking it quite a bit. However, a couple of things: 1. I've noticed that C-b f does not actually go to the pane where the text is located. This makes it quite a bit harder to search for text - especially if you have a complicated pane se

using tmux buffers to do a pane search

2012-08-31 Thread Edward Peschko
hello all, Screen has a very useful ability that would be great to have in tmux - namely the ability to use the contents of a buffer in a forward or backwards search. Assuming screen keybindings: C-a Esc ? (to enter search mode) ... search up and select certain amount of text using v and

pane swapping between one window and another

2012-09-12 Thread Edward Peschko
All, Ok, one more nice thing in screen that it would be great to see in tmux; screen has the ability to independently split and switch windows. You simply switch focus to that window and cycle through it. This is useful when you have a setup that you like (say, four panes in a window) but you tem

using tmux as collaborative tool

2013-04-25 Thread Edward Peschko
All, I was wondering if tmux could be used as a collaborative tool independently. Right now, each attached session gets the same view - which is great in the case where you want that behavior (sharing a screen etc) but which is not all that great if you want to have different users typing on indep

scripting up keybindings

2013-07-13 Thread Edward Peschko
All, I was trying to setup a tmux script, but ran into the following issue - after a bit of googling, there doesn't seem to be a way to use send-keys to actually send a key *binding* to another window (not just text to be run). A bit of background - I would like to be able to run a command in ano

individual buffer sizes for panes

2013-09-09 Thread Edward Peschko
All, I have some memory consumption problems with tmux - I like to have lots of windows and panes running processes, but only some of them do I need large buffers for. Hence, I was wondering if it was possible to specify the buffer size for each individual pane - eg. 20 for the large, monitor

listing out tmux ptys

2013-10-19 Thread Edward Peschko
All, I was interested in making an application that uses tmux as a display for a program - ie: one pane controls a process and the others display logs and statuses. In other words, I'd like to have the program write to the other pane's ptys with the various messages associated with the program. H
