No... The script is really simple - all it does is decide what to use as
an active pane title and output it (since I wasn't happy with the tmux
pane naming sometimes):
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Sys::Hostname;
chomp (my $name = `tmux display-message -p "#{pane_title}"`);
chomp (my $cmd = `tmux display-message -p "#{pane_current_command}"`);
my $title = '';
if ( $cmd eq "zsh" ) { $title = hostname; }
elsif ( $name eq hostname ) { $title = $cmd; }
else { $title = $name; }
if ( length $title > 99 ) { print substr "$title", 0, 96 ; print
"..."; }
else { print "$title"; }
It always outputs a single non-empty line of maximum width 99
(status-right-length is 120, date is 21). Don't even know why I felt
like using perl instead of simple bash and GNU utils, but I guess it
makes no difference.
