I found the project quite interesting but what's the advantage over just using tmux with a hotkey to send keys?

#12Hey, I automate tmux all the time with send keys and capture.. how is your project improves vs tmux or zellij?
I mean, the obvious immediate answer is “windows”, which tmux flat out doesn't support (except via WSL and a shared mount).

Re: Show HN: Rmux – A programmable terminal multiplexer with a Playwright-style SDK
#14a 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…
I started using cmux a month ago and it had made my life a lot easier. Finally I have a pane with all my projects open all the time, I can switch between them, have multiple terminals for each one.
What do you mean by remote terminals?

#16The website is a little too obviously made by Claude. The first thing I noticed is the classic "pill with pulsing green dot that says something is active or live" claudism.
So?

and why this is a problem? I found the landing page covering exactly what the product does, with nice demos and examples.

I don't get it as well, everything mentioned in the readme is already trivially possible with tmux or zellij

windows support, and the sdk. native async "wait until" something appears on your terminal, so you don't spam send-keys
