'show timestamps' and tmux/screen, not useful

[Scott Dorr]

My typical work mode is ssh'ing to a host, firing up either screen or tmux, and managing a bunch of multiplexed windows in there.

I love the idea of having a column showing timestamps, but when I'm in screen or tmux, iTerm2 sees the multiplexer as the command, and just shows one timestamp for the entire window (well, one for the window and one for the status bar).

I don't want to use the 'tmux -CC' integrated approach, as I really prefer to have all my windows from one tmux session managed inside that one iTerm tab (I'm frequently ssh'd to over a dozen different machines, and in each of those sessions I have 4 or more multiplexed windows ... my environment would be a right mess if all of those ended up being their own iTerm tab/window).

Is there something I need to do to get individual lines inside a tmux/screen session to get their own timestamps in iTerm2?

Thanks!

I have a patch I've been working on for an embarrassingly long time to add support for timestamps to tmux but I didn't get to the UI part of it, which I know is going to be tricky. But what you're looking for is a new feature in tmux, not in iTerm2. This is not information that could be inferred accurately.
