Re: Extend `zed' with status bar, is it possible?

[Sebastian Gniazdowski <sgniazdowski@xxxxxxxxx>]

I got some progress on this. vared's option -t allows to select tty. So I have:

% cat /usr/local/bin/bash5
#!/bin/sh
tty
tty > /tmp/ttynum
sleep 200

Above is to get the tty created/used by tmux and make tmux just hang
on sleep. Then to run:

killtmux() { tmux kill-session -t vared_se; }
zle -N killtmux
saveterm="$(stty -g)"
tmux set -g default-shell /usr/local/bin/bash5 \; new-session -s vared_se &
sleep 3 && vared -t "$(</tmp/ttynum)" -f killtmux ZSH_VERSION
stty "$saveterm"

The point is, tmux can be configured to start small window at bottom
where ezed's / zedex's status bar will be shown. Above code works very
well except one thing: after 1st run/edit, second run fails with:

open terminal failed: not a terminal

This comes from tmux. Wonder what can happen to... /dev/tty? or
stdin/stdout, so that tmux cannot take control?

There is a group of developers that edit in-session (not hash-bang) scripts and could benefit from this – theme (prompt) creators. As established earlier, this would be for say `zedex', an extended version of zed (unsure if  it will succeed to include in upstream).
