Tried it, lean and elegant, amazing tool ! I like the "omarchy/wayland" auto focus of the tab when moving the mouse over, saves a click, this could be added as an option.

Thanks for giving it a shot! We do track hover state already but it's just visual right now — not wired up to actually focus the terminal. Focus-follows-mouse is a great idea though, should be easy enough to add in. Will explore.

Great tool — the auto-tiling grid and repo-based grouping are exactly what I've wanted. As smcleod mentioned, publishing the source would go a long way. A terminal has access to files, environment variables, and credentials by nature, so open source is often a prerequisite for adoption in developer workflows. Even a read-only mirror would help. Thanks for building and sharing this!

Thanks ! Another nice to have would be window reordering, but so far, really enjoying it as-is :)

Thanks! Appreciate it :-)

Sure, that makes sense. I’ll get it sorted and let you know.

Window re-ordering and mouse focusing added in latest release, should be available fairly imminently. Thanks for the suggestions!

> Honestly, if you live in tmux, this probably isn't for you but it's really helped to speed up my workflow. Fresh honesty, nice.

Haha, I mean ever since launching this I’m learning of a zillion alternatives I should have probably tried earlier but for me the auto tiling is really the main thing and, as far as I can see, no other alternatives really do that for some reason? Maybe there’s a good reason but it suits my workflow anyway

Yeah, with tmux it sucks that switching window size ruins pane layout. But it happens so rarely I don't really care
