Readit NewsLove Floating Panes in Tmux - and best part - all the other plugins - resurrect, continuum, etc..) all support floating panes out of the box.
I'm wondering what the difference is between this and just tmux basic environment - which already has a lot of pane / window management. What's the key distinction between using tmux and dwm.tmux?
<5 minutes later> - Ah - this is just tmux with some custom config. The window manager is tmux - I would suggest changing the title a bit - maybe something like, "DWM.TMUX - dwm inspired tmux configs. "
<Further review - note the "10 years ago" timestamp - ahh.. This has been gestating for a while>
If you already have a robust tmux workflow with a desired layout (or lack of layout) and custom keyboard shortcuts then this may not work for you. It's just one way to manage panes/windows in tmux that I hadn't seen before and different from the usual ad hoc methods.
Like most window managers, I think it's all preference. What're your current preferences for pane layout, window management, etc? Do you always create/layout panes in the same way or is it situationally dependent?
Do I regret using `ed` as my primary editor? No.
Do I still use `ed` as my primary editor? Absolutely not.
Well, checking out the code, it seems to be tmux functions. Well, some of them are quite intriguing! I never bothered to figure out how to spawn a new pane in the same dir. Consider that fuction stolen ;)
I would have advertised it diffetently though. Something like "DWM inspired tmux config".
As other have mentioned, I don't sse why I should use "dwm.tmux" over just the tmux defaults, or my own home grown (stolen) config.
Non the less, quite interesting code!

I think there's a lot of potential to scripting terminal multiplexers in various ways and I would love to see more work exploring what's possible!
I was just wondering what is the additional value over just using, tmux and pre-stored pane configurations. From the screenshot in the GitHub repository, I don't see any additional value for me. Will this allow, like, floating panes?
I'm just using tmux with some custom key configurations and with what tmux offers out of the box I'm pretty happy.
This is really just a personal project that I wanted to share in case others might like to try it.
I will add that, especially at the time of creation, I was heavily in the 'unix is my IDE' camp. A terminal window manager was a logical next step to that notion. As someone called out below, I even used `ed` as my main editor for a while (which was as bad as it sounds).
