Today I can control "terminal" and "new" by changing the terminal
alias but I always need to choose a concrete implementation, like
"tmux-terminal-horizontal", even when there is otherwise no need to
mention tmux in my config.
Allow to configure windowing system and window placement independently
by introducing dedicated options.
This allows to create mappings that work in any windowing system like
map global user c %{:with-option windowing_placement window new<ret>}
map global user '"' %{:with-option windowing_placement vertical new<ret>}
map global user '%' %{:with-option windowing_placement horizontal new<ret>}
For windowing systems that don't support all placements, you can wrap
the above in try/catch to fall back on the "window" variant which is
defined for all windowing systems.
When using multiple (nested) windowing systems, you might want to
add mappings like
map global user t %{:with-option windowing_module tmux new<ret>}
map global user T %{:with-option windowing_module wayland new<ret>}

This changes the default "terminal" alias for some modules. In
particular, instead of delegating to
iterm-terminal-vertical
screen-terminal-vertical
tmux-terminal-horizontal
wezterm-terminal-vertical
it will now by default delegate to the respective "-window" variant.
We could maintain backwards compatiblity here by setting the
"windowing_placement" option accordingly, but the new behavior seems
more logical?
Also, this removes the "terminal-tab" alias which was only defined
by the kitty module.
We could try to keep the alias approach and implement a "with-alias"
command, however that approach can only capture both dimensions
(windowing system and placement) if we add tons of commands
like "terminal-horizontal" (with implied windowing system) and
"tmux-terminal" (with implied placement).
Side thought: we could also get rid of the "focus" alias and instead
define
define-command focus %{
"%opt{windowing_module}-focus"
}
Closes#3943, #4425
When launch matches using `id` kitty tries to match against tab id
before matching windows. When there are multiple tabs it's likely to
match a tab before matching a window.
Use `window_id` directly to avoid any possiblity of matching tabs.
This is only needed for `kitty @ launch` for other commands there is
no specific `window_id` field.
Just like the parent commit but for tmux-repl-* commands.
Note that tmux-repl-set-pane without arguments is kind of broken; it
increments the current pane ID, which only works in the most basic
scenarios. We should probably replace it with something better,
with menu completions etc.
A pane's ID is immutable for the lifetime of the tmux server.
Same with window/session IDs.
When creating a new tmux repl, we record all three IDs to later use
them to send text to the repl.
The window/session IDs can be invalidating when a pane is moved to
a different window/session (via "tmux move-pane", "tmux move-window"
etc). This will cause repl-send-text to fail.
Fix this by dropping the redundant and potentially incorrect
window/session IDs. The immutable pane ID is enough.
tmux-send-text would silently fail when the repl is no more. Let's
instead print an error, pointing the user to the *debug* buffer which
has tmux' stderr.
The X11 repl is unique in that it sends the selection (or parameter) with a
new line appended.
This patch removes that new line and thus, brings it into line with the tmux
and kitty versions.
tmux-send-text allows sending an argument, when supplied the argument
will be sent to the REPL instead of the current selection.
tmux-send-text also keeps kak focussed, which does not happen in the x11
variant as it uses xdotool to switch window.
this patch allows:
* Passing an argument to x11-send-text, so that value will be sent
instead of the current selection.
* We capture the window id of the current (presumably kak window)
before we use xdotool to switch window. We can therefore switch back to
kak afterwards (which we do)
When $1 or ${kak_selection} start with dash, like "-1", the command will fail, because tmux think it's an argument flag.
-- prevent this.
Also the doc (append new line) is no longer valid.
Now it uses the window id to identify the REPL window. It is stored in
the option x11_repl_id. That way it is possible to have different REPLs
for different buffers or windows.
It's unclear what the `send-text` alias does at first glance,
so prefixing it with "repl-" both fixes that and helps make it
discoverable via the command prompt's fuzzy matcher.
The `repl` alias also seems too generic a name, the "-new" suffix
should hopefully give a hint that it creates a new window.
This commit removes attempts to auto-detect the version of the local
Tmux binary.
The Tmux package that ships with OpenBSD doesn't have a version
number[1], and therefore doesn't provide any way to check if it's
compatible with the REPL module, making the feature disabled by
default in that distribution.
Fixes#3237.
