    You can try this: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/nicm/9acc00b67035b5f2b8a8... Which does the basics of this: - Bump the sequence timeout to 5 seconds instead of 100 ms for more…

    https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/1613 is a better reflection of my views on SIXEL, although I am coming round to the idea rather. It is not easy to do properly however, I am int…

    It is easy to change the scroll speed in tmux, although the default is 5 lines at a time which seems like it should be fast enough... Mouse and scrollback and clipboard are some of…

    I customize/copy my configs on the boxes I use regularly and just learn enough of the defaults to get by on boxes I am using only occasionally (eg I know enough vi to get by but if…

    If someone has access to your user account and you're running tmux, they can just attach that tmux, they don't need to mess around with send-keys. If send-keys didn't exist, a scri…

    Yes. I'm not sure I would say afraid but certainly cautious. I would avoid recommending GPL software to anyone I work with or for. The license is too complicated, the rules too str…

    We have been moving away from IB for our platform (algorithmic trading) since Ethernet now has almost comparable latency and is a lot easier to understand and manage.

    My point is that for new features, like key up would be, it is not necessary to be bound by terminfo. If some or all of xterm, VTE, konsole, rxvt-unicode and iterm2 supported it, t…

    There are no terminals still in widespread use that are not VT100-compatible, by which I mean they use the escape sequence protocol originally used in the DEC terminals, although o…

    Hi > There's already no particularly consistent standard for most terminal events This is not really true anymore, almost all terminals still in use (and certainly all that are wid…

    In practice - like you say - for non-DSP, non-mainframe this doesn't matter. For applications development, differences between the standard libraries and even compilers are much mo…

    Not so much for programmers, but I think certainly for people used to the terminal. If you know how to use the shell or a sophisticated editor like vi or emacs, tmux should not be …

    It isn't really implicit, it is just a shorthand, new is short for new-session and attach for attach-session. The alias for list-sessions is "ls" not "list". I don't know why you w…

    OpenBSD has never disobeyed an embargo. Argued for them to be reduced, criticized them, but not disobeyed them.

    You are quite lucky, C-a could easily have been the default and then you would have to either use it or have a config ;-). The disadvantage of C-b is that you need two hands to pre…

    It works pretty well if you bind C-a to send C-a. It is easy to get used to pressing C-a twice for beginning of line, and if you do it outside tmux it is harmless.

    Also prefix-[0-9] is used for navigating windows, not panes.

    You mean "tmux detach" not just "detach". Also it is prefix+: not just :. Also there is no attach keyboard shortcut,not prefix-a. Not sure why you keep putting tmux in all caps but…
