Hi, When a line's length exceeds the width of the terminal, tmux wraps the line so that it displays as two lines. However, if the window is then resized, the line remains cut at the same place.
For example, if I print the alphabet in a 20-columns window, I get something like: +--------------------+ |abcdefghijklmnopqrst| |uvwxyz | | | | | +--------------------+ If I resize the window to 15 columns, I get: +---------------+ |abcdefghijklmno| |uvwxyz | | | | | +---------------+ If I then resize it to 25 columns, I get: +-------------------------+ |abcdefghijklmnopqrst | |uvwxyz | | | | | +-------------------------+ I would like to know if it's possible, and how, to get tmux to automatically rewrap the lines to the width of the terminal, so that when I resize the window like above, I get things like: +---------------+ |abcdefghijklmno| |pqrstuvwxyz | | | | | +---------------+ and +-------------------------+ |abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy| |z | | | | | +-------------------------+ After a quick look at the code, I think this is not supported by tmux. Am I right? If I am, do you have any idea of workaround, or know how hard it would be to implement in tmux? (As a side note, several common applications do this line wrapping themselve: for example visual applications like vim or irssi. However, applications that do not handle wrapping the lines themselve become less usable when I have to use them in environments with different window sizes. It also seems that readline handles the wrapping, so just typing the alphabet on the command prompt won't be sufficient to reproduce) Thanks, -- Noé Rubinstein ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
