Re: Cursor Color/Style not resetting when switching panes/windows

Thanks for the detailed explanation. The tmux server crashes with a [lost server] message as soon as I send a mouse cursor escape sequence IF terminal-overrides option is defined in .tmux.conf--no matter what I add, remove, or set. For example, in .tmux.conf, I'll add this basic line: set -g term

Unfortunately, in xterm "0 q" is not the sequence to reset cursor style to what you configured. It always resets it to "blinking block". Which IMO is silly but I guess it probably matches the DEC behaviour and it's the way it is. Anyway, in tmux we do need some way to reset to the actual default,

Hi Nicholas, I've been playing around with various escape code using echo -ne and here are my observations: 1. The CORRECT mintty escape code to reset cursor style back to the default vertical line is: '\e[0 q'. Tmux is swallowing this specific escape sequence, and not passing it on to the termin

command too long

I keep getting an error, "command too long" when I run: $ tmux new-session ... I wish that the tmux COMMAND_LENGTH was more than 2048. If tmux could handle commands of arbitrary length, up to something like the maximum argument length for the system (ARG_MAX), that would be cool. But even

It was merged. If you use the DCS \ePtmux;...\e\\ escaping then it won't work, that makes tmux pass the cursor sequences through without tracking them. On Fri, May 31, 2013 at 05:45:39PM -0700, simfox3 wrote: >Hi All, >In VIM, my normal mode cursor is a block, like most of you I presume.
