-2.12 VtrZoomRunnerPane~
-
-Zoom the runner pane using the native zooming functionality from tmux 1.8.
-This will cause the runner pane to temporarily occupy the entire tmux window.
-This is useful for temporarily viewing the pane in a larger context, ie to see
-a long bracktrace.
-
-You can add the following mapping to your ~/.tmux.conf file to enable quick
-toggling of the zoom functionality:
-
-  bind C-p run "(tmux display-message -p '#{pane_current_command}' | grep -iqE '(^|\/)vim$' && tmux send-keys ':VtrZoomRunnerPane' 'C-m') || tmux select-pane -l"
