When using "%w" in the hardstatus line a '*' character is displayed between the window number and title of the active window. On the inactive windows there is just a blank space. Is there a way to see the inactivity/activity status in this space? (I think this might be pssoible as I have seen dash in this spot on inactive windows a few times in the past but I am not sure what it ment.)


dash indicates the "other" window, i.e. the one that ^A^A will switch to. if you use ^A M to monitor for activity, an @ indicates a window with activity since last view


Since sending the orginal e-mail I have found the following command
"^A ^W". It shows the windows with the status symbols that you are
speaking about. But I have found that the status symbols only show on
the "^A ^W" command not on the %w string escape.

For example my current hardstatus line is set to "%H(%l): %w" and I get:

    sarah(0.76 0.68 0.35): 0 bash 2 gramps 5 xorg-fonts 6* gimp 9 top

If I use the command "^A ^W" it shows the following:

    0@ bash 2- gramps 5(L) xorg-fonts 6*(L) gimp 9@ top

How do I setup my hardstatus line to shows flags of all the windows
(like the output of  "^A ^W" command?) I assume the solution has
something to do with the string escape "%f" but I have been able to
show the flags on the current window. I am shooting for my hardstatus
line it to look like this:

    sarah(0.76 0.68 0.35): 0@ bash 2- gramps 5(L) xorg-fonts 6*(L)
gimp 9@ top


i use

caption always "%{rk}%H %{wk}%n %{gk}%c %{yk}%M%d %{wk}%?%-Lw%?%{bw}%n* %f %t%?(%u)%?%{wk}%?%+Lw%?"

but really have no idea how it works, except for about five minutes after the half hour of manual reading involved in changing anything in it
