This https://github.com/jabirali/tmux-tilish is a different solution with a similar goal - to make tmux work more like a tiling WM.

Hey, thanks for linking to my project! :)

For other people that might be reading: the main difference between these projects is that 3mux is a tmux replacement, while tilish is a tmux plugin. Thus, 3mux is a much larger and more complex undertaking, but you can more easily get tilish up and running anywhere (just copy over a tmux.conf).

But I believe both have the same motivation: "porting" the i3wm user experience and keybindings to terminals. 3mux is also very cool, and I'll be keeping an eye on it myself :).

If you try out tilish, I'd be happy to receive any feedback!
