There are other naming warts if we want to break everybody's configs
good and well:
- We have display-time but message-fg/bg/attr.
- What IS the difference between 'list' and 'show' anyway?
- split-window should be split-pane.
- I hate the name 'server-info'. And surely 'info-server' to match the
rest such as 'kill-client'? (If I can think of a way then server-info
will die eventually.)
And for that matter, what happened to the 'n' in umount(8)? ;-)
Also this should work:
tmux neww -- ssh myhost
But that needn't actually break anything :-).
