Zellij

I like the fact that Zellij is the Arabic word for mosaic tiles.

It’s a great terminal multiplexer, I’ve been using it for over a year now without trouble, really pleasant to use. Compared to tmux, it’s more beginner-friendly: keybindings are displayed at the bottom by default. It is quite customisable, although I haven’t been too far into it.

I’ve been using zellij for well over a year. Now that I switched to wezterm haven’t been using it since.

One feature I cannot live without in my TMUX config is TPM plugin resurrect where I can save a layout at will and restore at will. I typically have 7 sessions going for local development and use AstoVim for edit/debug/test
