Horizontal and Vertical Options

[robertmeta]

I would love to be able to fire this off in a vertical or horizontal mode.

connect.kak does not handle the windowing. You should ask for tmux.kak or add a command to position the window.

tmux-terminal-window ⇒ tmux-terminal-impl new-window %arg{@}

[robertmeta]

There exists tmux-terminal-vertical and tmux-terminal-horizontal

[alexherbo2]

Do you see a nice way to make the terminal command in connect.kak configurable?

I’m not sure if it should be addressed here or upstream.

[robertmeta]

Fair point, hmph... Let me consider it, if I come up with a good solution I will submit a PR. I was hoping you would have a great notion!

[alexherbo2]

It could be nice to be able to tell terminal whether we want the newly created window.

Something like Splitting containers for setting the orientation could be nice for Kakoune.

Maybe ask @occivink also.

At some point the idea of a -split vertical|horizontal parameter to terminal floated around, but it never really got anywhere. What you can do is simply change the terminal alias, like so

define-command connect-vertical %{ 
    alias global terminal tmux-terminal-vertical
    connect 
}
define-command connect-horizontal %{ 
    alias global terminal tmux-terminal-horizontal
    connect 
}

but it sucks a bit that it modifies the global configuration

[alexherbo2]

How about a split command setting an option, and the terminal implementations doing something with that option?

split (vertical|horizontal|toggle)

[robertmeta]

that would be amazing!

[alexherbo2]

@occivink Are you op to take care of that request?

[alexherbo2]

I’m closing, as this issue is more addressed upstream.
