Re: Show HN: Rmux – A programmable terminal multiplexer with a Playwright-style SDK
#102a week ago I was using cmux but its osx only and doen't work on remote terminals. then I switched to herdr which is great so far except its not s great at managing panes. I can't move them around or change ordering. now another terminal multiplexer. I'm getting whiplash. all that said, none of the existing solutions are perfect and rust codebases are nice. how easy is it to reorder panes? is there a cli that lets me…
hey, i’m the herdr dev. pane reordering will be in the next release, let me know if you have more feedback :)

so far really liking it. if I had one critisism, I'd say a less awkward meta combo would be nice. ctrl-b feels awkward and I have caps remapped to ctrl. something on the same row as the caps lock would be way easier to learn from a muscle memory perspective.
that said, really appreciating the world you're putting into it!

@ogulcancelij rmux author here. I just tested herdr, I really liked it !

#105so is this, among other things, a bypass to the recent claude -p restriction Anthropic recently shared? basically an api to a terminal?
exactly, claude-cli is just running behind the scenes in a detached way. rmux is parsing the output beautifully

#106Congrats on the launch. If emacs was unavailable and I needed tmux, I would try it. I am old school, and use emacs daemons for all shell multiplexing. The agents dont need explanations and know how to use emacsclient to create, read, or send inputs to named buffers that run the shells. Elisp is powerful, so manipulating windows is a breeze. Lots of people on tmux would benefit from this design though.
Funny, I started vibing this ( https://github.com/deangiberson/emacs-mux ) yesterday on the train after playing with cmux for the day and thinking to myself there was nothing that emacs couldn't accomplish. The repo doesn't quite work yet. Many sharp corners. But the basic idea is there. pama, I'd be interested in hearing more about how you are using emacs for multiplexing. I'm trying to build up tooling for myself b…
The key idea is to have many differently named shells. Typically, I group them by project (common prefix name), and the projects live in directories. I have some hacks to organize ibuffer, to split frames, to reflow buffers in the existing windows (eg to organize related project buffers (shells, magit, dired), or to show shells from multiple projects, or selected buffers, and so on). Emacs’ natural frame splitting and buffer selecting/switching commands are good enough if you dont display more than four buffers at a time, but soon you may need to show 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24 or have funky arrangements, so you may collect functions to help along splitting n*m grids or keeping useful splits. The shells work very organically inside Emacs and you can still use it as a text editor. The so-called “dumb terminal” in M-x shell is a thing of beauty as it really is just a text buffer like any other; I think of it as a bash repl. If you are used to curses TUI commands it may not work, so for these rare occasions I also use eat (but tend to avoid). See also answer to a sibling comment.

#107Does it support sixel or images at all?
I see that it has kitty image protocol support, will raise an issue about sixel support

#109Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not to mention those absolutely horrible scroll animations.
you don't like parallax effects ? maybe I'm too 2010 for you
I’ve never seen a scroll related animation that I didn’t hate to some degree. I suspect that the issue is that I skim and scroll REALLY fast and the animations always break the feeling of the page being a real surface.
Apple is the worst offender. Some of their product pages make me physically uncomfortable like when you miscount the number of steps in a stair and step into empty air.
And it’s not that I’m sensitive to animations or motion in general. Video games are no problem at all even when the physics make no sense.
There’s something special about how good scrolling is on Apple’s trackpads and mobile screens which causes a really deep immersion for me. I have an Ubuntu desktop with an old school scroll wheel mouse and there the animations are just annoying but not uncomfortable.

thanks! whole keybinding system is refactored, now it’s possible to use prefix ( you can change it too) or ctrl/alt bound keys for any actions, hope it helps.
