Add last save timestamp in status

[bruno-]

I'd rather not change the existing feature. Maybe we can have this as a separate status, for example #{continuum_timestamp}.

@bruno- How about the new change? It won't break/change anything for existing configurations but adds the timestamp when the new option is set.

Hi, someone will want to have a timestamp without the status.

I must say I'm not a fan of adding more options, but on the other hand, if we're going to add a timestamp then people will want different time formats so we have to have @continuum-timestamp-format.

After thinking about all this, I think this feature should be extracted to a separate plugin. I know that's probably more work for you, but I won't use this feature and I don't want to maintain it for the years to come.

Also, I'll deprecate continuum_status feature, and extract it to a separate plugin.

Ok

Can I do this right now with some modifications to my .tmux.conf? If yes, could you please show how? Thanks.

@j-rahman If you navigate to the tmux-continuum directory in your tmux/plugins directory, you should be able to pull my branch and get these changes.

$ cd ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-continuum
$ git fetch https://github.com/sankhesh/tmux-continuum timestamp_status
$ git checkout -b timestamp_status FETCH_HEAD

After that, you can enable the timestamp by adding the following to your tmux.conf

set -g @continuum-timestamp 'on' # show last session saved timestamp in the status
