This sentiment seems to be shared widely. Is there a good conversion guide for tmux users?
I tried zellij a couple of years ago when it first got popular and it didn't click for me.
I love the name (from zellige): (architecture) A form of terracotta tilework covered with enamel in the form of chips set into plaster, characteristic of Moroccan architecture.
Cool, I didn't know that. It always makes me think of Zellig, the Woody Allen movie.
Makes me think of Intellij

has some starting links, if screencasts do it for you
For me the only glitch was some key binding collision with ghostty/aerospace but it works perfectly out of the box on alacritty for me
Thanks. I've tried it and I'm a convert.
I think part of my resistance initially was that it took up much screen space with borders and such. I learned now that that can be switched off or modified. Didn't go deep yet, just tried the different options from `zellij -l welcome`. I think that should actually be the default startup and then maybe disable or prompt to disable in future.
Tried it when it came out on mac and it was super glitchy so I gave up. Also usally tmux is useful when I ssh
