Screen foreground

[rodrigorm]

As you said at #27 screen does not works with foreground, can you explain why not? I really like to help making this work, because screen is my main tool.

The tmux support works by triggering off the resize event when the split closes. Screen splits don't work that way. This isn't really fixable, but if you're on Linux, you can start Vim with --servername vim, and then the screen handler can use Vim's remote server capabilities instead.

I have tested the resized event with screen split manually and it have been called. But I try to add the funcionality to the plugin and I cant, could you help me?

The resize event itself is fine. The problem is tmux's panes automatically close when the task completes, whereas in screen another window is selected.

I know, but I have make a simple test to auto remove the bottom split when script finish:

$ cat test.sh
echo "At $WINDOW"
echo 'Hello World'; sleep 5
screen -X eval "focus bottom" "remove"

And call the script:

$ screen -X eval "split" "focus down" "resize 10" "screen -ln -fn -t make bash test.sh" "focus up"

Can I push my branch and you see my attempt?

[tpope]

Sure. Your plan seems plausible but I'm not sure how easy it will be.
