how is it different than when i use the command line inside of tmux?
does that go straight to the server?
how does that compare to calling "tmux command" from the shell?
these are mostly rhetorical questions, i'm not asking you to email a
dissertation on the inner workings...
just thinking about the different ways that commands get entered in now
and if perhaps one of those could be utilized...
when i hit prefix + ":" it waits for my input...
oh, perhaps your point is that the "if-shell" command and its arguments are
sent to the server and the server runs it?
if that's the case, could a synchronous version be run from the child
process accepting the request?
then if the shell command returns true, call back to the server with the
tmux command to run?
i hope i'm not bothering you, i just enjoy thinking about this stuff :-)
it's why i became a programmer.
