Scrolling down with the mouse wheel in alternate mode (e.g. less)
stopped working for me. I'm pretty sure that this used to work, but tmux
never had a default binding for WheelDownPane, so I'm unsure from where
this change should have come from ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ubuntu 22.04 is shipped with 3.2a... There might be more issues with
that version, but these were the ones I could find for now.
Tmux commits needed:
- c03b57465bdf/866117636e47 ("Add different command historys for
different types of prompts ("command", "search" etc). From Anindya
Mukherjee.") for `prompt-history-limit`
- e06a4e041c68 ("Set mouse_x and mouse_y on the status line, GitHub
issue 2913.") for mouse_x in MouseDragEnd1StatusDefault binding
- 9f6164a05cc0 ("Make send-keys without any arguments send the key it is
bound to (if any). GitHub issue 2904.") for `C-d`, `Enter` bindings
Also change the only other use of PPage (i.e. PageUp) to PgUp. PageUp
and PageDown would probably be nicest, but I like that PgUp and PgDn are
of equal length. I dislike NPage and PPage.
This is more than often annoying. For example when switching from a fzf
pane to a vim pane (i.e. needing these bindings instead of `C-[hjkl]`)
and then trying to move the cursor.

Similar to everywhere else, paste the primary X selection (XA_PRIMARY)
instead of the most recent tmux paste buffer.
TODO: Forward event to 'root' key-table to prevent code duplication
The copy command should only be executed when not in a mode (i.e.
alternate?). This gets rid of the error message "Not in a mode" when
double/triple clicking inside of vim etc..
When switching to the 'SecondClick' event in 4b8e877305 ("tmux: Use
SecondClick instead of DoubleClick event"), I forgot to add an `unbind`
of the default binding that was previously overwritten. Since I just
resourced my config I didn't notice.
Apparently I broke them in commit 4e8ab80c66 ("tmux: Fix edge cases
in paragraph text-object") by adding the comments. Through them the
bindings were not set in place since the binding stopped with the
comment (I guess?). Weirdly I do not get an error message and the
default bindings stay, so I am not sure what exactly happens. This could
also be due to a version change from 3.3a to 3.4.
Fix the bindings by starting a code block instead of just escaping the
newline.
Do this also everywhere else to prevent errors in the future.
`copy_exec` was stupid since it brought unnecessary shell overhead even
though it was meant to improve performance (one could argue that it is
not even necessary here).
Continue the idea of reducing calls to `tmux` by "globally" chaining
together all copy-mode commands instead of doing it only "locally" with
`copy_exec`. This has the added benefit that also calls having arguments
can be included and merged.
It happened to me multiple times that I closed a pane without actually
wanting it via a (too) quick <C-d>.
Activate remain-on-exit so that I have to press <C-d> twice before the
pane is actually killed. Dead panes can be recovered with
`respawn-pane`.
Will see how this goes - could be annoying.
scroll_region_{upper,lower} are only modified by the DECSTBM escape
sequence:
> This control function sets the top and bottom margins for the current
> page. You cannot perform scrolling outside the margins.
And are 0 and pane_height - 1 otherwise. Tmux implements these such that
command output can't be displayed outside these margins, but the cursor
in copy-mode can. This means that using them to check if the cursor is
at the very top or bottom can break in certain situation (even those
seem extremely rare since I have never heard of this escape sequence).
Get rid of them and just use 0 and the pane height.

Also add comments explaining the history & pane position checks in the
C-y and C-e bindings, since I used those and had to rethink about what
they're doing.
Implementing logic inside tmux's config starts to become tedious with
growing complexity. Introduce a shell script that handles the logic of
the (now also repeatable) vim-like bindings.
According to the manpage all occurrences of `%1` are replaced, but only
the first of `%%`. The binding also worked with `%%`, but better stick
to the docs.
move-window does not support format parsing. Apparently it was a bug
that it did in the past. Fix this by using run-shell - which I hate as a
solution.
I rarely use this binding as by now I have the muscle memory of `<C-a>[`
to enter copy-mode and since my brain thinks that I can press Escape if
I accidentally press the prefix and I get disappointed every time.
