tmux-ide 2.9.22

2.9.22 is a CLI/daemon release. Pair it with native macOS alpha 0.1.16, which brings the Markdown reader and a redesigned window. See Native macOS alpha.

Markdown reader

tmux-ide open opens a Markdown file in a pane beside the current one:

tmux-ide open notes.md

In the Mac app the pane is a native, read-only reader. It reloads when the file changes, finds text with Cmd-F and copies with Cmd-C. In a terminal the same pane shows tmux-ide show. The reader shows files up to 4 MiB, loads images only from the file's folder or its git repository, and never fetches remote images. A Markdown file that does not exist fails with FILE_NOT_FOUND and opens nothing. Before 2.9.22 such a path opened in the browser.

Read Markdown reader for the keys, links and limits.

Move a server onto tmux-ide's own tmux

A tmux server started by Homebrew's or another stock tmux runs with reduced features. tmux-ide servers upgrade restarts it on tmux-ide's own tmux and brings its sessions back:

tmux-ide servers upgrade

It saves and checks a snapshot first, names the machine and socket it will end, and asks before it does anything (the default is No). Sessions, windows, layouts, folders and agent conversations come back. Running programs, shell state and scrollback do not, and agents come back without the extra flags they were started with. Read Move to tmux-ide's own tmux first.

Also in 2.9.22

• With no tmux server running, tmux-ide now starts its own tmux even when another tmux is first on your PATH. A running server is left alone. Set TMUX_IDE_TMUX_BIN to choose a tmux for everything.
• tmux-ide restore --from FILE restores from a snapshot file, such as the one servers upgrade keeps. When one session fails, restore rebuilds the others and lists the failure.
• tmux-ide doctor shows how old the crash snapshot is, and fails when it misses a running session.
• The TUI's theme picker adds Linen and Linen Dark.
• Clicking an agent that has just appeared on Home opens it on the first click.

Updating

Update the CLI/daemon with tmux-ide update. Existing tmux sessions are preserved. Update the daemon on remote machines too: until a remote machine runs 2.9.22, the Mac app 0.1.16 can't open Markdown readers there, gets no browser favicons from it, and receives its terminal graphics uncompressed.
