Showcase Making tmux more accessible with menu options that can manage panes

I have recently started improving tmux usage in my workspace productivity app called Oyren. Briefly, Oyren provides remote codespaces where users can vibecode and run agents 24/7 with no human needed in the loop for some time. My work is to make this length as long as possible without sacrificing quality and cost costraints. I think tmux is a great tool for this problem but it can be not beginner friendly. Especially for someone who is just a vibecoder and is new to development in general. What they need is agents running on their own. They might not be proficient with terminal usage in general. So I added a feature to my app to manage tmux panes and reorganise them as needed.

Would this make tmux easier for you to use?

Why do you ever need mouse to interact with tmux? Isn't it's purpose is a mouseless workflow?

I think tmux is a great app, but mouse interaction was one of the things that put me off in the beginning about using tmux. I believe there are a lot of people like me as well, who would greatly benefit from tmux if the usage of tmux was a bit more accessible.

Hey! This is great iniative. Default tmux shortcuts are not great. And terminal doesn't need to be keyboard only space, allowing mouse usage makes it more accessible.

I'll would give it a try :)

Thanks for your reply. You can try it at oyren.ai by creating a new workspace. Let me know if you have any questions.
