That’s cool, but if I’m used to tmux already, what’s the benefit of learning how to use zellij?
Stay off Tmux for a couple of months and try again. I’ve been through that exact scenario. It doesn’t feel intimidating, but you still need to brush up.
One thing that zellij does correctly is discoverability. You don’t need to even read their documentation to become productive.
Zellij is also reaching feature parity with tmux. But its development seems to be accelerating. Zellij might become the dominant multiplexer soon.
Love using this, the only issue is some key defaults clash with nvim, but it’s customizable so basically a non-issue. I do wish they’d make a PS port, not everything I do can be done in WSL. But when it works it’s great.
One thing that took me ages to get is that Ctrl+G (lock layout) makes it stop intercepting key combos.
Get the layout to where you like it, set it to be locked by default, step out of locked mode when you need to resize panes or add tabs.
