Hi! I am a huge fan of tmux, use it daily and leave it running 24x7 across several machines.
One feature I have been longing-for is inspired by something that I use in Emacs very frequently: "Read-Only Mode" (^X^Q) http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Read-Only-Buffers.html In Emacs this lets me mark a single buffer (in tmux: a single pane) as temporarily write-protected, so that it is tamperproof / not accidentally going to be modified by errant keystrokes. The benefit in `tmux` would be that I could leave a command running in a pane for an extended period (part of the whole benefit of using tmux when networks are flaky) and be assured that when I reconnect I won't accidentally hit ^C in the wrong pain after a mouse-click and thereby kill the thing which I left running. Not that I am speaking from experience, oh no. That never happens <grumble>. Does this sound like a good idea? I could (of course) run up a second session and fuhgeddaboutit (etc) until the task is done, but it would be nicer to have this integrated into the single tmux session, I think. - alec -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tmux-users" group.
