Hi,
This functionality feels to me like it can be possible but I can't seem to
find it.
I want to get the panes id of all panes in a window *by their geometrical
location*. Meaning that I need to know what is the index of the upper-left
pane, the index of the pane to its right etc.
Ideally, I could describe a window's panes and have their geometric
location and dimension inside a window (for each pane know its x, y and
height, width) so that I could match between their location and their ids,
but I couldn't find such information.
I also tried using something like the following:
first=$(tmux display-message -p -t {top-left} '#{pane_id}')
second=$(tmux display-message -p -t ${first} -t {right-of}
'#{pane_id}')
third=$(tmux display-message -p -t ${first} -t {down-of} '#{pane_id}')
fourth=$(tmux display-message -p -t ${third} -t {right-of}
'#{pane_id}')
but I don't seem to be able to concatenate the '-t' parameters so that it
would work relatively to the one before it.
I guess I would be able to make it work if I actually change the focus and
call `display-message` each time, but this would create an annoying jitter
on the screen (this should happen fast, and I don't really need the focus
to change).
Also I don't want to rely on having only 4 panes (in which case I could use
{top-left}, {bottom-left} and similar), and I don't want to rely on
creating the panes in a specific order (which would give them subsequent
ids) but rather to only depend on the pane's geometrical location when
invoking my command.
Does the functionality I'm looking for exists ? Alternatively, is it
difficult to implement ? (I'm guessing tmux does hold the dimensions and
location of each pane inside a window).
thanks,
Shay
