Hi, I am unable to replicate in tmux two GNU screen features I found
very useful. Tmux is faster and cleaner to me, so these two feature
requests are just the request for a bonus.
1) rectangular selection in copy mode; in terminal applications it is
in particular often useful to fix a left or right limit to the selection
(as with 'c' and 'C' shortcuts in screen copy mode) when the content is
spread in columns;
2) alternative key tables. In screen I can define several key tables
with a dedicated prefix as in the following example for shortcuts to
launch terminal apps:
bindkey "^B" command -c apps
bind -c apps p screen -t mutt 6 mutt -F ~/.muttrc3
bind -c apps ^p screen -t locale 6 mutt
bind -c apps i screen -t irc 8 irssi
bind -c apps v screen -t vim 3 vim -X
bind -c apps b screen -t browser 5 elinks
bind -c apps r screen -t admin 9 su -
bind -c apps t screen -t htop 2 htop
bind -c apps m screen -t musica 4 ncmpc
bind -c apps a screen -t msn 7 pebrot
I do not see how to do this in tmux (it seems that one can only define
shortcuts with 'bind' (for default prefix) and 'bind -n' (for shortcuts
without prefix). I apologize if I am missing something obvious in the
documentation.
