Hello.
With tmux as a desktop environment i still struggle with things as
stated in 20191018201234.p5wxx%[email protected] (which cannot be
found unless you only search for date, it was [1]), there i wrote
The nice thing on windows is that they have an entry in the
title line, for example here there is
0:mail* 1:edit 2:accu 3:doc 4:tmp- 5:vms 6:irc
and i have shortcuts to get there, and i can get to that neat
window overview tree with one shortcut too. I see from a glance
where i am.
What i really would like to have would be some kind of split-frame
that splits the layout so that multiple windows share the frame,
rather than split-window that splits a window into panes. I.e.,
a split on top level. For example, so that edit and doc are
visible in one go, or edit and irc (now on IRC, since a few
months!!).

So i do "the same" with panes:
bind-key M-1 rename-window -t 1 edit/#W\; join-pane -h -s 0 -t :1.0
joins X into the "edit" window, so i can see irc, or doc, or a VM
ssh session, or whatever, at the same glance as my vim session.
Unfortunately the edit window will be named edit/edit not
edit/(irc|doc|..) with this, and
i="#{W}"\; rename-window -t 1 "edit/$i"\; join-pane -h -s 0 -t :1.0
is not supported. I have found no way to carry over the data of
the window(/pane) that is active once i invoke the binding, would
be very cool to be able to do that!
bind-key M-2 break-pane -n accu -s 1 -t 2\; rename-window -t 1 edit
...
bind-key M-6 set-option history-limit 0\; \
break-pane -n irc -s 1 -t 6\; \
set-window-option -t 6 monitor-activity on\; \
set-option history-limit 42000\; \
rename-window -t 1 edit
then let me do "the reverse".
But. If i open a window while having joined a pane, the window
slot will be gone. Also, when recreating the window it seems all
options have been lost, i need to set them again, but that does
not reflect any option that i might have set in the meantime.
Being able to keep the window open, even if it does not have any
panes, that would be great!
Do i miss something? Is that already possible today, somehow
(tmux 3.1b)?
Thanks, and a nice Sunday from Germany i wish,
