Interesting. Tmux also has pane zooming feature (where it will take the entire window until you switch it off) & window/pane browser (prefix + B, I think). They seem to achieve something similar, though I rarely see a need for it.

I keep different Tmux instances for different projects so I get up to 9 windows per project with no overhead.

Zellij has that too. I rarely use that though.

What I'm talking about is this: https://imgur.com/lUvhjJe

The 3 floating windows above a Vim instance

That is an anti-feature for me, as I don’t see immediately how to switch to the one I need through keyboard, without clicking it. There must be a quick switch of some sort?

Yes of course, you can use keyboard to do everything in Zellij. One thing that eased my transition was the addition of (customizable) Tmux keybindings so that muscle memory was retained.

So what’s your shortcut to immediately switch to the chrome-dev floater, for example?
