window status_prefix_when_current

Synopsis

/window [<window>] status_prefix_when_current ["<text>"]

Description

Set the selected window's replacement for the %{1}P status expando when that window is its screen's input window. With no selector, use the current window. This condition is evaluated per screen, rather than against one global current window.

The text is one argument; quote it if it contains spaces. Setting it requests a status redraw. The status format must contain %{1}P for this prefix to appear; see status_format.

No argument clears the window override, allowing set status_prefix_when_current to supply the value. It does not report the current text. /window -status_prefix_when_current does nothing. See status_prefix_when_not_current for the other state.

Examples

/window 3 status_prefix_when_current "> "
/window 3 status_prefix_when_current
