    Noob-warning ;)

    Looks pretty cool. It almost gives a desktop-workspace vibe and seems way smarter than me flipping through my 6-10 session tabs.

    Does someone know if Zellij run ontop of bash, fish etc, or is it a shell replacement ? I hopped to Guix and would rather not dive too deep atmo with changing shells and so on. Also, is it possible to control with mouse ? I often lean back and do things with a mouse and prefer both options if possible.

    Never got around to using mux, but this seems nice.

    Thx.

      Yes, Zellij runs on top of bash/fish etc, no need to change your existing shell. And yes, you can control with your mouse as well, but you can’t resize the panes with your mouse - but other than that, most mouse operations work as you’d expect.

        Well, if I need to resize those rigid panes, I’ll just have to suck it up and manually move my hand to the keyboard ! …and exercise is supposedly healthy anyway 🙃

        I’ll give it a spin. Thanks a lot.

        edit: git had good information: https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij

        edit2: "Try Zellij without installing

        bash/zsh: bash <(curl -L zellij.dev/launch) fish/xonsh: bash -c ‘bash <(curl -L zellij.dev/launch)’ "

        VERY easy to test out!
