I caught this off the "ssh in new screen window (Chris Henderson)" thread
and it showed me how to add more formatting to the window list, but I don't
understand the syntax completely.
Where is in the docs?
windowlist string "(%3n) %{..g}[%{..Y}%t%{..g}]%{..g}%=%f"
windowlist title "Num Name"
How do the Num and Name in the title relate to the formatting string?
Does this define 2 parameters and the "windowlist string" line defines the
formatting?
Where are Num and Name parameters defined? How would I add a third?
Thanks, Bruce
