You might not need tmux

Re:You might not need tmux by Myrmornis on Friday August 01, 2025 @07:23AM (#44755344)

If I were to stop using tmux, the things I would need to replace are:

1. zoom-pane (temporarily make one pane be the only pane) (also can someone please add this to vscode!)

2. keybindings to navigate focus between panes according to their layout positions

3. ability for another process to programmatically change which terminal window has focus, and window naming

I think that's it. Could probably hack most/all of that together with hammerspoon I guess. I don't use it for persistence, and I certainly don't like the scrollback UX. It has got in the way from time to time, principally with its slow adoption of hyperlinks. But I'm general it's been a huge win for years.

Have you tried "View: Toggle Maximize Editor Group" in VS Code? In my setup, it does roughly the same thing as with a tmux pane.
