Yeah, I did too, until I realized (quoted from your other post): > < micahcowan> rlpowell, you could get around that nonblocking run-shell thing, > actually: just use "tmux save-buffer", etc, in the shell command, rather than > doing it as a direct tmux command. ... > Still seems like it might be nice to clean that up a bit, but good > stuff none the less.

Well, you could of course still rig that up through run-shell, and some sort of flag-file. But personally, I don't like the rotating behavior of J: better to have separate bindings for separate modes, so you only have to hit the binding once to get the behavior you want (and don't have to figure out what mode you're already in). The shell solution strikes me as the most flexible solution, since there are many things you just wouldn't think to hardcode -- Micah J.
