tmux display-popup

tmux display-popup [-BCEkN] [-b border-lines] [-c target-client] [-d start-directory] [-e environment] [-h height] [-s style] [-S border-style] [-t target-pane] [-T title] [-w width] [-x position] [-y position] [shell-command [argument ...]]

Display a popup running shell-command (or default-command when omitted) on target-client. A popup is a rectangular box drawn over the top of any panes. If the command is run inside an existing popup, that popup is modified. Only the -b, -B, -C, -E, -EE, -K, -N, -s, and -S options are accepted in this case; all others are ignored.

-E closes the popup automatically when shell-command exits. Two -E closes the popup only if shell-command exited with success. -k allows any key to dismiss the popup instead of only ‘Escape’ or ‘C-c’.

-x and -y give the position of the popup, they have the same meaning as for the display-menu command. -w and -h give the width and height - both may be a percentage (followed by ‘%’). If omitted, half of the terminal size is used.

-B does not surround the popup by a border.

-b sets the type of characters used for drawing popup borders. When -B is specified, the -b option is ignored. See popup-border-lines for possible values for border-lines.

-s sets the style for the popup and -S sets the style for the popup border (see STYLES).

-e takes the form ‘VARIABLE=value’ and sets an environment variable for the popup; it may be specified multiple times.

-T is a format for the popup title (see FORMATS).

The -C flag closes any popup on the client.

-N disables any previously specified -E, -EE, or -k option.
