It is as stable as (if not more so) the gtk2 branch. The gtk3 branch is only experimental in that it is not the default by now. Sad to say that in OS sometimes people just disappear (I'm guilty of that myself) so occasional updates to a branch are a good "proof-of-life" without having to try and track people down.Īs to which branch, **definitely** the gtk3 branch. In the event that you cannot finish for whatever reason, it also lets others continue (standing on the shoulders of giants and all that). This has a number of positives, like allowing other people to perhaps collaborate with you, it lets me see what approach you're taking, and head off any bad decisions before they get too advanced (like making the entire terminal blink at 15 Hz). That way others know that someone is already doing some activity on this.Ī further suggestion is to create a personal branch, push it to Launchpad, and push incremental updates as you work. If you do decide to take this forward put the bug into "In Progress" and assign it to yourself. I'm not aware of anyone else looking into this. This is the problem iTerm2 solved by integrating with this control mode for tmux making it VERY nice to use, especially when logging into a remote session. SSH, but opening multiple terminator tabs, each having to ssh, and either each having to have their own tmux session making scrollback useless, or being suseptable to ssh disconnection problems (losing scrollback/etc) is terrible. A local UI is much, much nicer to use than tmux via. So I don't have to do CTRL-B PgUp to scroll up my tmux buffer, and lack the controls I have from terminator - and if I use shift-PgUp it will work as expected, as opposed to being useless when using a tmux session.īut the long and short of it is, integrate with this 'control mode' of tmux so that the windowing and scrollback are unified between tmux and terminator and native terminator UI and key bindings just do their job, and affect the tmux session appropriately (and the terminator window can obtain it's state/scrollback when attaching to tmux). So when I use my mouse wheel to scroll, or shift-pgup/down, it shows the scroll back just like it does now - however that information comes from tmux (and is distinct per pane/split). terminator, or native tmux).įinally, and most importantly, unification of the scrollback buffers. The same goes for creating a new tab should be identical to creating a new pane in tmux, so that if I create 3 new tabs, and then detached tmux, re-attaching to tmux I would still have 3 new tabs (whether I connect via. So if I use terminator to split screen, and it's "talking" to tmux, then that split screen is sent to tmux (so if I detached and re-attached, the same split screen would be there), and controlled locally (so clicking between splits switches windows). What I am asking for, is that things like the scrollback buffer and windowing that tmux has be 'exported' to the local terminal. ssh, and move about - being able to re-attach to your tmux window is essential - and being able to have the terminal integrate properly while doing so is huge for productivity. This is not as big a deal when only working locally, but when you do a lot of work via. tmux managing panes by itself in one big window) is just painful.
TMUX ITERM2 MAC
Since leaving Mac and returning to Linux, I find myself sorely missing this functionality - especially managing scrollbacks and mouse copy/paste behavior with 'raw' tmux (ie. This is an amazing feature, and is unparalleled by any other terminal app I've seen. Which means one could attach to that session with a standard tmux session and it is identical. triple-click selecting a whole line only does so within that pane), and essentially does all pane and scrollback management in iterm2 - but still being a tmux window.
TMUX ITERM2 FULL
you split screen, rather than rendering by tmux inside the terminal window, iterm2 itself renders it as a split screen (or tabs, etc), with full scroll back support, proper mouse copy/paste functionality (ie. Meaning that iTerm 2 will communicate directly with the tmux server, and then enable things like native scollback and windowing that is directed by tmux. ITerm 2 (only for mac) has full tmux integration.
