Re: Bring back choose-list

2015-05-29 Thread Nicholas Marriott
Hi

It did not fit either with the purpose of tmux itself or with the (less
fragmented, more consolidated) direction we have been taking choose
mode. I would like to see this taken further again and make
choose-tree/buffer/client less customizable but more powerful, which
will probably happen when I get more time...

Anyway, choose-list was removed more than a year ago and I'm afraid it
is not coming back. I'm told there are adequate tools out there already
to do the job.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply - i do appreciate it.

Since i do not know which direction these choose commands are going,
as a user the choose-list command still means a lot to people's
workflow - is that not so? I am sure there are projects on GH which
make use of this - having it within tmux at a small cost makes
scripting tmux nicer without needing to use external dependancies.

please do reconsider this point - it can't be hard to get this
functionality back in tmux can it? What doesnt it fit into with these
new choose commands you speak of?

David
