alt Hacker NewsHey, this looks seriously awesome. Love the ideas here, specifically: the programmability (I haven't tried it yet, but had been considering learning tmux partly for this), layered UI, browser w/ api. Looking forward to giving this a spin. Also want to add that I really appreciate Mitchell Hashimoto creating libghostty; it feels like an exciting time to be a terminal user.
Some feedback (since you were asking for it elsewhere in the thread!). Happy to go into more detail about any of these if it's helpful:
- It's not obvious/easy to open browser dev tools (cmd-alt-i didn't work), and when I did find it (right click page -> inspect element) none of the controls were visible but I could see stuff happening when I moved my mouse over the panel
- Would be cool to borrow more of ghostty's behavior:
- hotkey overrides - I have some things explicitly unmapped / remapped in my ghostty config that conflict with some cmux keybindings and weren't respected
- command palette (cmd-shift-p) for less-often-used actions + discoverability
- cmd-z to "zoom in" to a pane is enormously useful imo
Thanks for the feedback! Mitchell Hashimoto is awesome. Have a PR for fixing devtools here: https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/pull/117

We need to be better about this; right now you can modify keyboard shorcuts with cmd+, in the GUI. Planning on making it a config file in the spirit of ghostty though, not sure if we want to reuse ghostty's config file though since it might become a maintenance burden for them...

yes

Thinking of the right way to design this. Like hypothetically we can expand it, but what happens if you make a vertical/horizontal split, or cmd+t to make a new tab? I guess we could just "merge" it back into the original space which would be pretty cool.
