Make Tmux Pretty and Usable

I have been using zmx for the last 2 weeks. It's still a bit buggy (screen repainting) but quite pleasant to use with ghostty.

Thanks for the report, I heard about it recently and was wondering how buggy it was since it's very new. I'll probably still try it soon.

Thanks! Interesting to read the rationale behind it [0] which in short is, try not to use what is basically a terminal emulator within a terminal emulator, and window management should be done by the terminal emulator. I primarily use tmux for session persistence (in ssh sessions) anyhow, and still default to my muscle memory for new tabs/windows in the window manager. I haven't tried it yet. The proof of the pudding will be in eating it I suppose.
