tmuxrdr.git, branch tmuxrdrherdr but with less disrespect for the tmux community

running the e2e from inside a herdr session leaked herdr_pane_id into
the cli, so pane current looked for the caller's pane on the throwaway
server and the script died with "herdr client did not come up".
tmuxrdr: mouse selections copy on release; drag-enters-copy-mode on the roadmap2026-10-05T14:09:21+00:00Igor Soarezigor@soarez.org2026-10-05T14:09:21+00:00urn:sha1:b79e6822209fa45fc357ddfd3d7caf1598f9af37tmuxrdr: README and roadmap list the tab row patch2026-10-05T12:45:32+00:00Igor Soarezigor@soarez.org2026-10-05T12:45:32+00:00urn:sha1:13a3934d76ecf0687905df97cd9b75b28bd1dabftmuxrdr: tmux tab row on, session commands in the : prompt2026-10-05T12:45:17+00:00Igor Soarezigor@soarez.org2026-10-05T12:45:17+00:00urn:sha1:e953b5c4797e629e92acca7525f40f2ce03ad6e1
The config turns ui.tab_style = "tmux" on, with the row at the bottom like
tmux's status line. The : prompt takes tmux's session commands, on
workspaces: new-session (-s, -c, -d, -A), switch-client -t/-n/-p/-l,
attach-session -t, list-sessions, kill-session -t, with tmux's messages for
a taken or missing name. test-e2e covers both, prints the config check's
diagnostics when it fails, and finds the tab row wherever it is drawn.
tmuxrdr: tmux's status line as the tab row (ui.tab_style = "tmux")2026-10-05T12:45:17+00:00Igor Soarezigor@soarez.org2026-10-05T12:45:17+00:00urn:sha1:9a12d7fb0eae23c016d3e941a16765084fbf0eaa
herdr draws each tab as a centred, padded block, and a named tab shows its
name without its number. With ui.tab_style = "tmux" the row is tmux 3.7c's
default status line: "[session] " cut to status-left-length 10, then each
window as "#I:#W#{?window_flags,#{window_flags}, }" -- current "*", last
"-", zoomed "Z" -- one space apart, plain text in the status line's colours.
Unnamed tabs are called after their active pane's directory, like
automatic-rename-format '#{b:pane_current_path}'.
The logic is in src/client/shell/tabs_tmux.rs; render_tab_bar keeps its
layout, scrolling, mouse hits and + button, with three one-line hooks for
width, text and style, and the session at the left. Each tab's active pane
and each workspace's previous tab are remembered by the client, so nothing
changes in the protocol and the client works against a stock herdr server.
The default, herdr, draws as before.
tmuxrdr: build and run as its own binary beside stock herdr2026-10-05T09:02:45+00:00Igor Soarezigor@soarez.org2026-10-05T09:02:45+00:00urn:sha1:10fb1ab5ac9091e59957e97c3e75ea6bc288b8c5
scripts/build builds the checkout with the pinned toolchains -- Homebrew's
keg-only rustup, Zig 0.16.0 from ~/.local/opt, crates through sfw, Zig's
hash-pinned packages prefetched by Zig since sfw's proxy breaks them -- and
installs it as ~/.local/bin/tmuxrdr. install now sets up tmuxrdr only, in
~/.config/tmuxrdr, and refuses a binary that reads its config elsewhere.
test-e2e tests tmuxrdr and starts with a config check. The config turns off
herdr's update check, whose update would install stock herdr over the fork.
tmuxrdr: own directories, to run beside stock herdr2026-10-05T09:02:45+00:00Igor Soarezigor@soarez.org2026-10-05T09:02:45+00:00urn:sha1:2312d3978b7d123968e834c0e0080ad2ff5559df
app_dir_name() names the directory every herdr path is built from --
config, sessions, sockets, logs, plugin registry, state. A release build of
tmuxrdr now uses "tmuxrdr", so ~/.config/tmuxrdr and ~/.local/state/tmuxrdr,
and shares nothing with a stock herdr on the same machine. Debug builds keep
"herdr-dev", which herdr's own tests expect.
tmuxrdr: README and roadmap2026-10-05T08:27:00+00:00Igor Soarezigor@soarez.org2026-10-05T08:27:00+00:00urn:sha1:3d30f8f5eaf3d09a26a53706cd35770a06c5b87e
What tmuxrdr is, how to install, test, maintain and later build it, and
the roadmap: the tmux bindings and behaviours only a patch to herdr's code
can give, with the patch and its touch points for each.
tmuxrdr: install, end-to-end test and upstream sync scripts2026-10-05T08:27:00+00:00Igor Soarezigor@soarez.org2026-10-05T08:27:00+00:00urn:sha1:a58874ca96a87fbf6a86e8df7821f29749985b58
install links ~/.config/herdr/config.toml and the plugin to this checkout
and registers the plugin. test-e2e presses each binding in a herdr client
running in a throwaway tmux and session, and checks the result through the
herdr CLI. sync-upstream rebases the tmuxrdr commits onto a newer herdr
release, keeping the old branch as a backup.
