24 alternatives to tmux-grid
Hi HN! I've been using kitty for a while but yesterday i decided to switch to ghostty and i realized that i would need tmux to manage my panes if i wanted to get the grid as i wanted So i made the reasonable thing: built a visualizer for the layout so i can just copy the setup and drop the `.sh` wherever i need I probably missed a few thing in this but it's my first day with tmux any feedback would be absolutely amazing Demo: https://tmux-grid.itzami.com Repo: https://github.com/ItzaMi/tmux-grid

Hey, HN! With all recent agentic workflows being primarily terminal- and tmux-based, I wanted to share a little project I created about decade ago. I've continued to use this as my primary terminal "window manager" and wanted to share in case others might find it useful. I would love to hear about other's terminal-based workflows and any other tools you may use with similar functionality.

PrettyMux▲73I built PrettyMux as a native Linux terminal workspace for multitask workflows and keeping track of my agents. It’s a GTK4 app built on Ghostty/libghostty, with split panes, workspaces, vertical tabs, notifications, project-aware tabs (shows favicons/logo automatically), and an in-app browser so terminals and docs/tools can live side by side. I started it because I wanted something tmux-like for modern GUI workflows on Linux, but native and not Electron, there is cmux but only available on macos (prettymux compiles on windows and macos too but not tested for now there) It’s…

I had motivation for writing this after I kept switching back and forth between agents to see if they've finished what they were working on (and I couldn't find a similar tool out there). I'd imagine it can be useful for other scenarios as well, e.g. tracking multiple build/test jobs over multiple windows. Still a work in progress, but I thought I'd share :)

Hey HN, Small OSS project that i created for myself and want to share with the community. It's a declarative, scriptable, terminal-based IDE focussed on agentic engineering. That's a lot of jargon, but essentially its a multi-agent IDE that you start in your terminal. Why is that relevant? Thanks to tmux and SSH, it means that you have a really simple and efficient way to create your own always-on coding setup. Boot into your IDE through ssh, give a prompt to claude and close off your machine. In tmux-ide claude will keep working. The tool is intentionally really lightweight, because I think…

A couple of years ago, I written an intro to tmux (https://tmux.github.io/) inside tmuxp's (https://github.com/tony/tmuxp) documentation called The Tao of tmux (https://tmuxp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about_tmux.html). I'm in the process of turning it into a feature book. I am aiming for a December 23rd, 2016 release and am plugging away full time. I make it available to read on the web for free at https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read. The GitHub is at…

You can use features of tmux to implement a Turing-complete instruction set, allowing you to compile code that runs in tmux by moving windows. I feel like I really have to emphasise this: I’m not running a command-line program in tmux, or using tmux to launch a program. I can get tmux to run real co

Hi, Last year I began a book for learning tmux called The Tao of tmux. It is based off a free resource originally part of the documentation [1] of tmuxp, a tmux session manager [2]. I made it available for free online at https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read. Since February of this year, I have incorporated suggestions and feedback from readers on quality and completeness of the book. For one, I have passed the book through a professional editor, as well as rounded out chapters with summaries and even added 3 new sections, including: - Sending keys to tmux, aka…
