Hint for more advanced users: Tmux inside tmux works not that bad.
(Ctrl-B Ctrl-B becoming the prefix for the inner Tmux-es)

Did you check out tmuxinator? Sounds like you reinvented it, cool, but maybe there’s some inspiration to be had.
I have not! I'll have to investigate more, because my little shell script is pretty basic (like 20 lines total, most of which was done for readability).

Re: Getting Started with Tmux
#34Tmux becomes more awesome when you use something like Alacritty or Kitty [EDIT: scratch Kitty, this mainly applies to Alacritty] and map your system's key (Apple's command key or... whatever it would be on Linux or Windows) and use that as your "tmux key". That way you can make single-chord bindings for all things tmux and life becomes better. If you use Vim, adding VimTmuxNavigator[0] improves things so much. For ex…
Can you elaborate on Kitty or Alacritty? I couldn't find anything. In fact, the documentation is hostile again tmux [0]. [0] https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/faq/#i-am-using-tmux-and-hav...
Oh my—I actually just mentioned Kitty for diplomatic reasons as some folks feel it's a friendlier alternative to Alacritty. I've personally never used it myself. Alacritty has recommended using tmux from the beginning (originally it planned to never even implementing scrollback and recommended tmux instead, but they caved and now there is native scrollback).
I believe I used this article when I switched over from iTerm to Alacritty: https://arslan.io/2018/02/05/gpu-accelerated-terminal-alacri...
Otherwise, here's my alacritty config: https://github.com/sodapopcan/dotfiles/blob/f9eba86bf292aa3b.... Line 57 is where the keybindings start (They are annoying to read since they use escape sequences). I make my tmux prefix `ctrl-space` (because `ctrl-b` is useful), then in Alacritty pressing `cmd` sends `ctrl-space` to tmux.

#35One of the best software I've ever used, it's addictive. Did anyone manage to get it set up on windows? And if you did is it buggy or does it run smooth?
I use TMUX all the time inside Gitbash for Windows. Some panes are SSH sessions into Linux servers etc. While other panes I use vim to edit local Windows txt files or just run other local Windows things. (This mightn't be what you were looking for)

And just like learn your tools, also “make your tools”. This is what we do all the time. This is why we compare ourselves with craftspeople. We have in common that working on the craft includes improving and making your own tools to get the best result.
Yes! I'm slowly moving towards these steps, it's my excuse for learning go and rust. There are some CLTs that don't exist for my need and I'm working towards creating them.
I don't know if you've heard of charmbracelet [1] but they are a company that makes a lot of cool go libraries to assist creating CLTs and TUIs. One of which was on HN recently, VHS [2].

#37I recently decided to give terminal multiplexer a try. I first used tmux for a couple of weeks and then discovered zellij. It felt much more user-friendly, but I don't know how much I am missing out in terms of useful features compared to tmux.

#38My favourite tmux trick only works on an apple gb keyboard:
set -g prefix `
bind-key e send-prefix
(`e sends a ` for when you need it, rare though, $() is better for sub shells :})

Interestingly enough, one of the stated goals of kitty is to make the usage of tmux unnecessary.
Considering your comment (and many others like it), I don't think that has quite worked out.
Still, kitty is one of my favorite terminal emulators and I'd urge anyone who hasn't tried it to give it a shot.

Could you please share your script?
