Description

diskonaut uses the "SIGWINCH" event to detect when it should resize itself. For some reason this does not happen inside a tmux pane.

To reproduce:

  1. Start tmux
  2. Split the screen (either vertically or horizontally) and try to resize.
  3. See that the app stays the same size

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how diskonaut handles SIGWINCH signals and terminal resize events. Investigate whether tmux intercepts or fails to forward SIGWINCH to the application. Check if diskonaut uses polling instead of signal driven resize detection.
