I like this patch, it seems like it will be useful. Though it is
a little limited by only looking at the window title. I think
there is a lot of other useful information (tty, host, hardstatus,
etc) that would be good to be able to search for in addition to
title. The patch should provide a mechanism where the user can
supply a string that can contain string escapes. The string would be
calculated once per window, like in windowlist. The search could
go through the generated strings looking for a match.
It would be nice if you could specify a default string to use. And
also one that you can have per the current command.
find -l "%t"
# Setting the default escape string
find default "%T"
So that you could bind different searches to different keys.
Also, it might be useful if the search could be used to restrict
windows that you could cycle through via a new pair of next/prev
commands. The new commands would only switch between windows that
matched the search string. I think that is more powerful than hiding
individual windows.
-FR.
