Hi there, nice idea and thanks for sharing.<p>I was just wondering what is the additional value over just using, tmux and pre-stored pane configurations. From the screenshot in the GitHub repository, I don't see any additional value for me. Will this allow, like, floating panes?<p>I'm just using tmux with some custom key configurations and with what tmux offers out of the box I'm pretty happy.
For me, personally, the value was in have something similar to a window manager for the terminal. As I was constantly spawning, killing, and reorganizing panes, a tiling-based approach gave me more control over my terminal and allowed me to perform complex operations without having to memorize or execute multiple commands. My use of a terminal is not static and therefore having a more dynamic option made my life easier.<p>This is really just a personal project that I wanted to share in case others might like to try it.<p>I will add that, especially at the time of creation, I was heavily in the 'unix is my IDE' camp. A terminal window manager was a logical next step to that notion. As someone called out below, I even used `ed` as my main editor for a while (which was as bad as it sounds).
Very cool project! When I was regularly using a multiplexer on my personal machines, I did something similar with `abduco` [0] for session management and `dvtm` [1] for the actual multiplexing.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.brain-dump.org/projects/abduco/" rel="nofollow">https://www.brain-dump.org/projects/abduco/</a><p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/martanne/dvtm" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/martanne/dvtm</a>
This looks intriguing and I'm definitely going to try it out. The clincher? Seeing the possibly gratuitous but ultimately wonderful use of ed in pane 0 in the screenshot.
Although I don't use dwm and tmux anymore, tmux keyboard control is nasty and some uniformity is always a good idea.
Interessting.
When I read the title first I was like: "What?"<p>Well, checking out the code, it seems to be tmux functions. Well, some of them are quite intriguing! I never bothered to figure out how to spawn a new pane in the same dir. Consider that fuction stolen ;)<p>I would have advertised it diffetently though. Something like "DWM inspired tmux config".<p>As other have mentioned, I don't sse why I should use "dwm.tmux" over just the tmux defaults, or my own home grown (stolen) config.<p>Non the less, quite interesting code!
