I have been using Zellij for years, and its creation was a dream fulfil, for I was hoping for a more pleasant tmux than tmux, and one written in Rust.
This post is about some kool features it has, particularly ones I only recently started using:
-
You can move between tabs quickly with alt-h (previous tab) or alt-l (next tab). This is far less awkward than ctrl-t (tab mode), then one of h (previous tab) or l (next tab).
-
You can create a small foreground window with ctrl-p w (ctrl-p combo, then w). Doing the same key sequence hides it from view.
-
You can create additional small foreground windows with alt-n. These get stacked on top of the previous ones.
