+# Helper script to support quick window jumping with a prefix key for 0-9 in
+# Tmux.
+
+# At the moment Tmux doesn't support mappings with multiple keys, e.g. prefix
+# ;0, prefix ;1 etc. (where ; is the common secondary prefix key). But this
+# works in GNU screen and is very useful to switch to windows quickly, e.g.
+# prefix ;3 to switch to window 13 or ;;5 to switch to window 25.
+#
+# To simulate this missing feature ; and 0-9 must be rebound when prefix ; is
+# used, and unbound when ; or 0-9 was pressed and the window selected. This
+# script generates these tedious mappings.
+#
+# For each number (0-9) the following mapping is generated (example with 0):
+#
+#     bind-key -n 0 select-window -t :10 \; \
+#                   unbind-key -n 0 \; \
+#                   ...
+#                   unbind-key -n 9 \; \
+#                   unbind-key -n \\; # this unmaps ;
+#
+# If a secondary chaining (e.g. prefix ;;3) is requested, a second file like
+# the generated one must be loaded with ; to jump to windows 20-29. Therefore
+# the following line is added in this case.
+#
+#     bind-key -n \; source-file "/path/to/second/file"
+#
+# To use these mappings first create the files using this script. To switch to
+# windows 10-19 with ;0-;9 and to 20-29 with ;;0-;;9 run these commands (can
+# be chained indefinitely):
+#
+#     $ perl ./tmux-window.pl 1 "`pwd`/tmux-window2.conf" > tmux-window1.conf
+#     $ perl ./tmux-window.pl 2                           > tmux-window2.conf
+#
+# Then add the following to your tmux.conf:
+#
+#     bind-key \; source-file "/path/to/tmux-window1.conf"
+#
+# tmux-window1.conf automatically contains the path to tmux-window2.conf,
+# therefore chaining for ;;3 will work to jump to window 33.
