tmux: Scrollback timestamp
When in copy mode the scrollback timestamp is displayed in addition to the scrollback line number in a format like:
{timestamp} [{lines_from_end}/{history_total}]
The timestamp format depends on when the last line of history displayed was captured:
hh:mm:ss [X/Y]if on the same calendar dayDddDD [X/Y]if on a different calendar day
For example, if the pane has 1042 lines of history captured and you scrollback 10 lines to display a line that was captured on Wed 23 13:14:16 then tmux will display something like:
13:14:16 [10/1042]if on the same calendar dayWed23 [10/1042]if on a different calendar day
The feature arrived in v3.4. Unfortunately the code for this feature (window_copy_write_line) doesn't offer any opportunity to configure that at the moment.
