There are some features I feel are missing in tmux: 1- Shared key value storage
tmux shm set KEY VALUE # set a value tmux shm get KEY VALUE [DEFAULT] # gets a value if exists, or set and return a default value, if provided(in one atomic operation) tmux shm pop KEY # pops a value 2- Shared/exclusive locks and semaphores: tmux lock shared KEY # blocks until a shared lock can be acquired on KEY tmux lock exclusive KEY # blocks until a exclusive lock can be acquired on KEY tmux wait KEY # blocks until a signal is received on KEY tmux signal KEY # unblocks processes waiting on KEY I think those commands would open possibilities for a new level of tmux scripting. I want to try to implement these features, but since I have never contributed to tmux(not familiar with the code either) I have a few questions: 1- If I did implement those, would them be accepted?(what are the requirements for accepting patches?) 2- Do the developers see any 'big obstables' in the way of implementing this? 3- Is there some kind of documentation that can help me understand how to implement new commands?
