Zellij 0.45.0: nested sessions, Kitty graphics, a fresh UI

ilioscio

Switched to Zellij a few years back mostly for the sane defaults, I expected to come crawling back to tmux, but it's actually stuck quite nicely and has become a staple in my workflow. It hasn't been a perfect experience, but I like it a lot and I'm happy to see a new feature-rich release like this.

What is the purpose of the "zellij" in the top left corner and why isn't there an option to remove it?

Being cheeky here, but how many terminal emulators and multiplexers do we need? What is driving the Cambrian explosion of CLI tools in the last ~5 years? I’ve been using Linux since 2001 and use standard Konsole on zsh. I have a graphical desktop environment to deal with windows and showing pictures alongside them. Is it perhaps because I am an Emacs person that all I need exist within its loving embrace?

I'm curious for folks who use multiplexers: I've tried tmux and Zellij and if I used a multiplexer, it would be Zellij. However, I can't stand losing terminal real estate, but I don't know why that is. How do you deal with the loss of real estate from a multiplexer? I use Ghostty, so new tabs and splits don't feel that strange to me. I'm guessing the feature I'm missing out on is session resumption and presets? If I leaned into that more, then a multiplexer would be worth the potential drawbacks?

Is there a cheat sheet from tmux to zellij?

Zellij feels like what Jekyll is/was for blogging, at one point, at least the way people were suddenly pursuing it. Not necessarily a bad thing, though.

Zellij is a breath of fresh air in the terminal and my daily driver for years. Thanks to the team for all their hard work?
