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.
