It was just quite complicated adding nested windows at the same time as adding panes themselves. It would probably be easier now to shift struct pane up a layer and drop struct window, although I haven't thought about it too much. It would mean quite some changes to the user interface probably though. > > You could probably also run tmux inside tmux > > Hmm. That would work, yes.

Yeah, tmux doesn't check for it, you're expected to know what you're doing :-). > -- > Aaron Denney > -><- > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the > world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference > attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through > interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev > _______________________________________________ > tmux-users mailing list > tmux-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tmux-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ tmux-users mailing list tmux-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tmux-users
