Get out of synchronized pane mode

[onlyanegg]

Hey, thanks for writing this! I use it all the time on OSX + iterm2 (not that iterm2 needs tmux, but I'm used to xterm). I can't get out of synchronized panes mode. I'm not sure if this is a bug or expected behavior.

Hey @coutotyler, I have a few questions:

1. Is your version of tmux-cluster up to date?
2. Are you able to change synchronization in manually-created tmux sessions?
3. Have you seen issue #2, which seems to be similar? That issue should be fixed in the latest version, although I haven't tested it in OSX, so maybe there's a corner case I'm missing.

Hey David, thanks for responding. I am up to date:

[tcouto@tcouto tmux-cluster]$ cat .git/config
[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    ignorecase = true
    precomposeunicode = true
[remote "origin"]
    url = https://github.com/davidscholberg/tmux-cluster.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master
[tcouto@tcouto tmux-cluster]$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
nothing to commit, working directory clean

I am able to synchronize and unsynchronize panes in normal tmux sessions. I'll take a look at number 2 a bit later.

Hey @onlyanegg, sorry that I haven't gotten to this in a while.

It looks like your tmux-cluster is up to date, so that's not the problem.

Did you get a chance to look at issue #2 yet? There shouldn't be any difference between sessions created by tmux-cluster versus sessions created normally, so if the problem is not nested tmux sessions then I'm at a loss.

Unfortunately I don't have an OSX machine, so if this is an OSX-specific issue, that makes it difficult for me to troubleshoot this issue.

[onlyanegg]

No worries. I took a brief look at the source, and I couldn't see anything that stood out either. Thanks for your help.

I don't see any documentation on how to get out of synchronized mode. What is the method to do so to see if it works?

[ElijahLynn]

Oh, I see in the source it is a tmux command set-window-option synchronize-panes off/on. We should put this in the README.md.

[ElijahLynn]

We should add this to the readme:

bind-key a set-window-option synchronize-panes\; display-message "synchronize-panes is now #{?pane_synchronized,on,off}

Although, I did use X instead as it made more sense to me.

And possibly add a tip that says "If you enter fullscreen mode for a pane, it will not synchronize commands to the other panes", this is really useful for a quick non-synchronized command.
