- Is there a cheat sheet from tmux to zellij?
- I always had the feeling that Zellij is there for people who want to use tmux but don't want to take the 2 minutes it takes to learn the 3-4 basic key combinations you need to make it useful...
- What is the purpose of the "zellij" in the top left corner and why isn't there an option to remove it?by _bobm
- Zellij is a breath of fresh air in the terminal and my daily driver for years. Thanks to the team for all their hard work?
- Zellij feels like what Jekyll is/was for blogging, at one point, at least the way people were suddenly pursuing it. Not necessarily a bad thing, though.
- Being cheeky here, but how many terminal emulators and multiplexers do we need?
What is driving the Cambrian explosion of CLI tools in the last ~5 years?
I’ve been using Linux since 2001 and use standard Konsole on zsh. I have a graphical desktop environment to deal with windows and showing pictures alongside them. Is it perhaps because I am an Emacs person that all I need exist within its loving embrace?
by sph - I'm curious for folks who use multiplexers: I've tried tmux and Zellij and if I used a multiplexer, it would be Zellij. However, I can't stand losing terminal real estate, but I don't know why that is. How do you deal with the loss of real estate from a multiplexer?
I use Ghostty, so new tabs and splits don't feel that strange to me. I'm guessing the feature I'm missing out on is session resumption and presets? If I leaned into that more, then a multiplexer would be worth the potential drawbacks?
by Spartan-S63 - Switched to Zellij a few years back mostly for the sane defaults, I expected to come crawling back to tmux, but it's actually stuck quite nicely and has become a staple in my workflow. It hasn't been a perfect experience, but I like it a lot and I'm happy to see a new feature-rich release like this.by ilioscio
