Yes, you will need to get the source from git then # patch ~/saved-email # sh autogen.sh # ./configure # make Then copy the tmux binary to replace your existing one.

I just tried that, but I rather not do that. First, I want Emacs in tty1 without tmux because I have shortcuts in the console, in Emacs, and in tmux, and they are setup during a huge (but pleasant) effort, and they immediately broke (of course). Also, I don't won't Emacs on top of tmux because I don't need it. Though I suspect the overhead is slim, it also (just an example) changed my block cursor which I like in Emacs, to the underscore which I like in tmux/zsh. Also, even though I did try to run zsh from tmux, many commands wouldn't work (such basic things as shutdown, for example).

The problem with this is, sometimes (once in ten

actually appears in the failing tty(s), but it is
somehow crippled (e.g., 'tmux select-pane -U'

there isn't an entry for that tty!
If you notice the 'sleep' commands in .zprofile, I
have no idea why but those have a positive effect as
now this problem is much more rare, and it always
affects a single tty, never two (or more).
But you're not logging in on all the ttys at once,
are you?
Well, when I start Debian, in /etc/inittab, I have the
following:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -a ... 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a ... 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a ... 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a ... 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a ... 38400 tty5
So in that sense, logging should be pretty close.
But: the .zprofile file must be read for every tty
otherwise how can the case statement give different
behaviour what to do, depending on what tty it is? So
it should be individual invocations of tmux as well,
right? But (especially without sleep) sometimes one or
two clients don't appear.
Why would the sleep calls change anything?
I don't know except I know that it helps, a lot.
Anyway, I have no idea about this but my advice would

Yeah, you mean change shell as in chsh? Yes,
/usr/bin/tmux is in /etc/shells so I'll try that at
once!
You lose the ability to configure panes differently
for each tty, but your setup looks simple enough that
it could be done some other way.
Yes.
How can I use for example
tmux bind -n i send-keys Up
but have it only affect the pane/window/client where
it is invoked? I'd like to set one tty apart for an
ncurses application, which cannot be
key-configured. So I thought I'd use tmux to
translate my keystrokes to those of the
application. That works, however, that also breaks
the keyboards for all other panes, in all other ttys
(and in X) where tmux runs. Ideas?
It's not possible to have per-pane or per-window key
bindings, but you can just start the application in a
dedicated tmux server (using e.g. 'tmux -L rebind -c
rebind.conf') and then attach to that from the main
server. In the inner server you can disable any
status lines and use another prefix key.
OK, I didn't understand that but I'll try it.
