Hello everybody! I recently installed tmux on my system because of some nice features it offers in comparison to screen.
Although I find it to be a very useful tool, I ran into two problems that I find quite annoying: *) I have 'set-option -g bell-action any' in my config file. However, when a bell character is sent to the current window, nothing happens. E.g., when I issue the shell command 'echo ^G' no bell is heard. But if I issue the command 'sleep 5; echo ^G', then switch to a different window before the sleep command ends, the bell is heard. The same applies to the irssi IRC client. A bell is only heard if I am in a different window. It sounds strange to me why tmux would mess with my terminal bell. *) A second problem I ran into: The monitor-activity command only seems to change the status line, and not ring a bell. Can this be changed? 'screen' used to beep whenever there was activity in a monitored window. I am using tmux 1.3 on a FreeBSD (sorry ;-)) system. A colleague of mine who is using it on Linux ran into exactly the same problem. Thank you very much for any help! Best regards, Ferdinand
