My ssh connection died and it looked to me like the process hung.
Turns out I had remain-on-exit set but I did that so long ago I forgot about
it.
It would be nice to have some sort of notification that this pane is dead
and you likely either want to kill it or respawn it.
A window flag might be nice, though a message in the pane would be a lot
more visible.
I try not to offend by comparing tmux to screen,
but screen used to show a message like "This window is dead, press 1 to
respawn or 0 to kill"
or something like that.
Thankfully I've been happily using tmux for so long i don't remember exactly
how screen used to do it.
I tried looking at a few of the .c files but I wasn't really sure where to
begin trying to put something like that,
so I thought I'd just mention it as a feature request.
I think a nice message at the end of the pane would be very helpful to
remind me why my terminal is now stuck.
The only reason i use remain-on-exit is to keep my window layout (numbers,
names, ssh connections, etc).
Now having taken the time to write this perhaps I'll remember next time i
see it.
Thanks for tmux, it sure is nice.
