+- command bits and pieces:
+ * use "--" to mark start of command w/ neww etc to avoid quoting
+ * why doesn't command-prompt work if made read-only?
+ * allow multiple targets: fnmatch for -t/-c, for example detach all
+ clients with -t*
+ * add -c for new-session like new-window
+ * attach should take a pane and select it as well as attaching
+ * ' and " should be parsed the same (eg "\e" vs '\e') in config
+ and command prompt
+ * last-pane across sessions
+ * exact match operator for targets (or break the substring match
+ and require eg x* instead of just x)
+
+- make command sequences more usable
+ * don't require space after ;
+ * options for error handling: && and ||?
+
+- options bits and pieces:
+ * set-remain-on-exit is a complete hack
+ * way to set socket path from config file
+ * -fg/-bg/-attr is crap - better just foo-style options which accept
+ fg=,bg=,bright and so on like #[]
+
+- format improvements:
+ * option to quote format (#{session_name:quoted})
+ * formats need conditions for >0 (for #P)
+ * some way to pad # stuff with spaces, #!2T maybe
+ * status stuff is redundant with formats
+
+- choose mode improvements:
+ * choose-pane command (augment choose-tree to do this?)
+ * choose-mode and copy-mode are very similar, make choose-mode a subset?
+ * flag to choose-* for sort order
+ * choose mode would be better per client than per window
+ * two choices (first one then second, for swap-pane and join-pane)
+
+- improve monitor-*:
+ * straighten out rules for multiple clients
+ * think about what happens across sessions
+ * monitor changes within a region
+ * perhaps monitor /all/ panes in the window not just one
+
+- panning over window (window larger than visible)
+
+- link panes into multiple windows
+
+- improve mouse support:
+ * bind commands to mouse in different areas?
+ * more fine-grained options
+ * commands executed when clicking on a pattern (URL)
+
+- hooks!
+
+- warts on current naming:
+ * display-time but message-fg/bg/attr
+ * list-* vs show-*
+ * server-info
+ * split-window -> split-pane??
+
+- way to keep a job running just read its last line of output for #()
+
+- better UTF-8 support:
+ * #22T can split in the middle of UTF-8 characters!
+ * window names and titles
+ * message display
+ * prompt input
+ * multibyte key input
+
+- live update: server started with -U connects to server, requests sessions and
+ windows, receives file descriptors
+
+- there are inconsistencies in what we get from old shell and what comes from
+ config for new sessions and windows
+
+- multiline status line?
+
+- support title stack, both internally and externally (restore on detach)
+ http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1149299+0+archive/2010/freebsd-questions/20100207.freebsd-questions
+
+- last window update time and format for it
+
+- bind commands to key sequences -- make it so ALL keys go through a table,
+ first an implicit table in which C-b is the only default binding to a command
+ that says "next key from $othertable" and so on. means -n can go away as well
+
+- copy/paste improvements:
+ * case insensitive searching
+ * incremental searching
+ * append to buffer
+ * paste w/o trailing whitespace
+ * named buffers and allow gaps in the stack
+ * command to toggle selection not to move it in copy-mode
+
+- mouse-select-pane will screw up with !MODE_MOUSE_STANDARD (it sets the flag
+ on w/o checking the others before calling tty_update_mode)
+
+- way to tag a layout as a number/name
+
+- optimize pane redraws, 20120318184853.GK10965@yelena.nicm.ath.cx
+
+- instead of separate window and session options, just one master options list
+ with each option having a type (window or session), then options on window,
+ on session, and global. for window options we look window->session->global,
+ and for session we look session->global
+
+- maybe keep last layout + size around and if size reverts just put it back
+
+- way to set hints/limits about pane size for resizing
+
+- revamp layouts: they are too complicated, should be more closely integrated,
+ should support hints, layout sets should just be a special case of custom
+ layouts, and we should support panes that are not attached to a cell at
+ all. this could be the time to introduce panelink to replace layout_cell
+
+- use a better termcap internally instead of screen, perhaps xterm
+
+- use screen-256color when started on 256 colour terminal?
+
+- we need a tmux terminfo entry to document the extensions we are using in
+ upstream terminfo
+
+- send arrow key sequences for mouse scroll wheel when in alternate screen
+
+- the way pane, window, session destroy is handled is too complicated and the
+ distinction between session.c, window.c and server-fn.c functions is not
+ clear. could we just have kill_pane(), kill_window(), unlink_window(),
+ kill_session() that fix up all data structures (flagging sessions as dead)
+ and return a value to say whether clients need to be checked for dead
+ sessions? sort of like session_detach now but more so. or some other scheme
+ to make it simpler and clearer? also would be nice to remove/rename
+ server-fn.c
+
+- more readable way to work out the various things commands need to know about
+ the client, notably:
+ - is this the config file? (cmdq->c == NULL)
+ - is this a command client? (cmdq->c != NULL && cmdq->c->session == NULL)
+ - is this a control client?
+ - can i do stdin or stdout to this client?
+ or even guarantee that cmdq->c != NULL and provide a better way to tell when
+ in the config file - then we use cmdq->c if we need a client w/o a session
+ else cmd_current_client
+
+- buffer_sample and the choose-* could let UTF-8 through and display it
+ properly.
+
+- formats to show if a window is linked into multiple sessions, into multiple
+ attached sessions, and is the active window in multiple attached sessions?
