Hi all. I'm a new tmux user, and I use it in a different way. I'll
explain what I'm doing so you understand what I want.
- I have a 24 inch 1920x1200 LCD monitor
- I prefer genuine textmode
- the latest linux video drivers default to *TEXT CONSOLES* in the
native display resolution. So 8x16 VGA font gives...
1920x1200 / 8x16 = 240x75
That's 75 rows of 240 columns across... bleagh.
However, if I set "video=640x480" in the /etc/lilo.conf append line, I
get an 80x30 display. My LCD supports several other modes, including a
few with 1280 pixels across. If I set "video=1280x720", and select
"lat1-14" (aka EGA font) in /etc/conf.d/consolefont, I get
1280x720 / 8x14 = 160x51
Then I fire up tmux, and split vertically, and get 2 panes of 80x51.
The left pane nets out to 80x50 (subtract 1 row for status bar) and the
right one nets out to 79x50 (subtract status bar and the vertical
dividing line). Note that 8x14 font is a *LOT* nicer than the 80x50
mode in Windows, where you use an 8x8 (CGA) font in a 640x400 pixel text
console. Now for my questions...
1) Is it possible to bind one key (e.g. scroll lock) so I can just hit
one key to switch panes? {CTRL-A}{O} gets annoying when you do a lot
of switching. Alternately (far out wishlist) is it possible to get
focus to follow the gpm mouse cursor? (I did say that was far out).
2) Is it possible to have "borderless" panes, so that both of the panes
have 80 usable columns?
I dream of getting a 30 inch monitor, and running 3 panes across<G>.
