+- command bits and pieces:
+ * allow multiple targets: fnmatch for -t/-c, for example detach all
+ clients with -t*
+ * add -c for new-session like new-window
+ * ' and " should be parsed the same (eg "\e" vs '\e') in config
+ and command prompt
+ * last-pane across sessions
+ * resize-pane -p to match split-window -p
+ * flag to wait-for to have a timeout and/or to stop waiting when the
+ client gets a signal
+
+- make command sequences more usable
+ * don't require space after ;
+ * options for error handling: && and ||?
+
+- options bits and pieces:
+ * way to set socket path from config file
+
+- format improvements:
+ * option to quote format (#{q:session_name})
+ * some way to pad # stuff with spaces
+ * formats to show if a window is linked into multiple sessions, into
+ multiple attached sessions, and is the active window in multiple
+ attached sessions?
+ * comparison operators like < and > (for #{version}?)
+ * %else statement in config file
+
+- 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
+
+- improve mouse support:
+ * bind commands to mouse in different areas?
+ * commands executed when clicking on a pattern (URL)
+
+- warts on current naming:
+ * display-time but message-fg/bg/attr
+ * list-* vs show-*
+
+- copy/paste improvements:
+ * paste w/o trailing whitespace
+ * command to toggle selection not to move it in copy-mode
+ * regex searching
+ * searching in copy mode should unwrap lines, so if you search for "foobar"
+ then it should be found even if it is now "foo\nbar" (if the WRAP flag
+ is set on the line)
+ * capture-pane option to preserve spaces but not join lines
+ * improve word and line selection in copy mode (for example when
+ dragging it should select by word. compare how xterm works. GitHub
+ issue 682)
+
+- layout stuff
+ * way to tag a layout as a number/name
+ * maybe keep last layout + size around and if size reverts just put it
+ back
+ * 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
+ * way to set hints/limits about pane size for resizing
+ * panning over window (window larger than visible)
+ * a mode where one application can cross two panes (ie x|y, width =
+ COLUMNS/2 but height = ROWS * 2)
+ * separate active panes for different clients
+ * way to choose where the freed space goes when a pane is killed:
+ option to kill-pane? GitHub issue 918
+
+- code cleanup
+ * 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.
+ problem: what about windows in multiple sessions? there are contexts
+ where we do not know which session, or where multiple choices makes
+ no sense... could at least have one global list for all types of
+ global options and keep separate window,session lists
+ * 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
+
+- miscellaneous
+ * link panes into multiple windows
+ * 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. likewise, panes and
+ jobs and run-shell and lock command all start with slightly different
+ environments
+ * multiline status line? separate command prompt and status line?
+ * automatic pane logging
+ * marks in history, automatically add (move?) one when pane is changed
+ * this doesn't work, need pane reference count probably:
+ bind -n DoubleClick3Status confirm-before -p "kill-window #I? (y/n)" kill-window
+ * respawn -c flag same as neww etc
+
+- hooks
+ * more hooks for various things
+ * finish after hooks for special commands
+ * multiple hooks with the same name?
+ * finish hooks for notifys
+ * for session_closed, if no sessions at all, perhaps fake up a temporary one
