skip_close_confirmation_for_processes_named

Since: 20210404-112810-b63a949d

This configuration specifies a list of process names that are considered to be "stateless" and that are safe to close without prompting when closing windows, panes or tabs.

When closing a pane wezterm will try to determine the processes that were spawned by the program that was started in the pane. If all of those process names match one of the names in the skip_close_confirmation_for_processes_named list then it will not prompt for closing that particular pane.

The default value for this setting is shown below:

return {
  skip_close_confirmation_for_processes_named = {
    "bash", "sh", "zsh", "fish", "tmux"
  }
}

This option now also works on Windows (prior versions only worked on Linux and macOS), and the default value for this setting now includes some windows shell processes:

return {
  skip_close_confirmation_for_processes_named = {
        "bash",
        "sh",
        "zsh",
        "fish",
        "tmux",
        "nu",
        "cmd.exe",
        "pwsh.exe",
        "powershell.exe"
  }
}

More advanced control over this behavior can be achieved by defining a mux-is-process-stateful event handler.
