Ok thanks, yeah it seems to work now, not sure what my problem was. I can convert between the copy_cursor_y line number system to the goto-line line numbering system by subtracting copy_cursor_y from pane_height-1. It would be great if in the future tmux supported a way to get the cursor line number in the goto-line numbering system. On Sunday, December 15, 2024 at 5:30:29 PM UTC-5 Nicholas Marriott wrote:
