Thanks for your suggestion, I'd appreciate it if you could send me a man page diff - mdoc looks bad but it isn't really that hard. Or failing that send me a one line diff against TODO so it isn't forgotten. I am super super busy right now, so I can't pick up all the "it'd be great" suggestions. tmux is still a priority, but I also have a ton of other stuff on my todo list: work, OpenBSD and $otherstuff. I prioritise stuff with diffs, or good bug reports, so if you send a diff or logs or a backtrace it'll be bumped to near the top of the list, although I try to at least send a "hey, i got this" reply to every mail or bug report I get. If your mail has a diff it will /not/ be forgotten, even if it takes a while. tcunha can maybe review or investigate some stuff but I don't know if he is up for that? Suggestions for process changes are also welcome but please bear in mind that I'm not going to do anything right now that means more work for me, even if it makes things easier for others. And anyone who mentions the word "wiki" without a URL and an offer to manage it future will be shot.

Somone suggested per-session config files before but I'd like to do it as part of adding hooks - well, I did it, but so far I've been too afraid to finish/commit it because I'm not confident there aren't strange side-effects. > > What was unintuitive was why, for e.g., "tmux new \; source ..." > wouldn't run the "source" command. Makes sense in light of the above. tcunha wrote a section for the FAQ about escaping things in #(). Maybe that should be expanded? > Also, 'tmux new "tmux source ..."' didn't work either, iirc.

Running tmux from inside tmux is always a bit strange but if you can send me the exact command line you are using, tell me your platform and a description of what happens, I'll try to have a look. > This is all much cleaner with 'new -d' -- no subshells or subsequent > tmux invocations: > > tmux new-session -d \; source $conf_file \; attach > > Letting 'tmux new' continue processing is intuitive and very readable, > imo: > > tmux new \; source $conf_file Yeah it would be nice but someone has to sit down and add some code to make it happen. I don't even know offhand why it doesn't work, I'd have to give it a go. > Tmux's separation of concepts is very clean and I'm liking it very much > so far, thanks for the great software!
