Package: tmux Version: 1.8-3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Please forward this to wherever upstream is, thanks! tmux has a feature/bug thats slightly irritating and I haven't seen a way to tell it to not irritate me: Commands like has-session and attach-session, and probably others dealing with sessions, do a match on the session name, instead of only using the name supplied. So a session named "longtest" can be accessed by just giving tmux "long" as a session name. This can be nice for lazy people, but there is no way to turn this off. Sometimes, if i ask tmux with has-session, i want to be sure if it has this one specific session supplied by me, not one that accidently matches it too. Example: ######################################################################## ganneff@linws03:~$ tmux new-session -d -s longtest ganneff@linws03:~$ tmux ls longtest: 1 windows (created Fri Aug 2 11:10:13 2013) [106x93] ganneff@linws03:~$ tmux has-session -t longtest ; echo $? 0 ganneff@linws03:~$ tmux has-session -t long 0 ######################################################################## The first has-session is right. The second is wrong, IMO. Now, as it can be nice to be lazy, and it would change for everyone, it would probably be nice to make the "exact match only" for session handling optional, like having an extra parameter to all commands that deal with sessions. (Plus something for tmux.conf, I guess, so one can set it globally).. -- bye Joerg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
