Zellij – A terminal workspace with batteries included (tmux alternative)
After having spent too much time trying to get the simple https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/ features into mainline tmux (last November https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/3753), maybe it'd be easier to jump ship as use zellij?
Could anyone offer recommendations on "riced" zellij configuations, or just a demo where it shows doing with (say charts of disk usage per folder), watching a movie with mpv + keeping a vim to type on?

I Just Wanted Emacs to Look Nice – Using 24-Bit Color in Terminals
Your approach looks very sound!
A fork of terminfo may be needed if the description of modern terminal capabilities can't be added -- or if old and deprecated attributes repurposed for that job (like in your padding example): if you're automating the correction/creation of terminfos in ~/, IMHO, it may be better to piggyback on tic as much as possible.
Anyway, to backport modern terminal descriptions to legacy programs, creating correct binary terminfos in ~/.terminfo seems the best practice. You can also invent new TERM. When I wanted to have italics etc about everywhere, personally that's just what I did for sixel-tmux: https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/?tab=readme-ov-file#ste... : just declare a new $TERM you know to be right, and use that in the apps that let you use a little logic in their configuration file
I do that in my .vimrc:
" If Vim doesn't know the escape codes to switch to italic

Terminal Graphics Protocol
You can have that functionality integrated within tmux with https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/ : if you terminal doesn't support sixels, you'll at least see something close to the picture they represent.
Then of course it's not pixel-perfect unless you make your terminal very large (like 800x240 instead of 80x24) but something being better than nothing, I'd argue it's for the better if all you can do is 80x24 with no pictures otherwise.

How would you work effectively with an extremely slow 56Kbps connection?
sixel-tmux can help you have both: https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/

Are We Sixel Yet
See also rant[1] of sixel-tmux author.
> It's 2021, and we should be able to do litterate programming in the console, with full graphical support.
Yeah. We are stuck cosplaying computers from the sixties.
What's even funnier, even if you find a modern terminal emulator that supports features like ligatures, graphics, emoji etc. you still will be blocked by tmux. Sure - not everyone needs tmux. If you never work on remote machines, you can live without it.
But I work on remote machines all the time. I also use Kakoune text editor that defers window management to external tools (WM or tmux, but to be honest, tmux is much better). Zellij is more of r/unixporn bait than usable tool for now. So I'm stuck with text only interface.

UnicodePlots
> Some terminal emulators have support for images, which fit most of the use cases here but not the one I described.
That what sixel-tmux is for, when you're in a hurry and needs images with your current terminal emulator: https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux

Switched Back to Windows After a Year and a Half of Linux
However, my basic needs can only be addressed by xterm and LOTS of tweaks while on Windows between msys2 and Windows Terminal I have absolutely everything I need.
If you want some crazy shit like sixels or italics and ligatures, try msys2 that's what I've used for the screenshot. The only thing comparable on Linux in term of features is xterm and, that's another story.
- A command line tool that draw plots on the terminal

Easy Access to Terminal Commands in Neovim using FTerm
Having a common set of tools already set up in different windows or sessions in Tmux or Zellij is obviously an option, but there is a subset of us ( 👋 ) that would rather just have fingertip access to our common tools inside of our editor.

Zellij – A terminal workspace with batteries included (tmux alternative)
I like how easy zellij was to setup and the capabilities to define new layouts as well as the default way of displaying contextual shortcuts that one can disable after one memorized the most important shortcuts.
What I would still like to see is support [1] for kitty image protocol so I could use e.g. image.nvim [2] which currently works in tmux which I migrated away from in favor of zellij
Not input lag but scrolling an editor in fullscreen on a large monitor is kind of laggy for me sometimes. I hope these changes will make a difference (not yet in a stable release).
Of my series of PRs, I suspect the third (i.e. https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/3043) is most likely to have an effect. But if it does it'd only be as a side effect unfortunately - my focus was on fixing lag with splitting of extremely long lines.
From what I saw while making my changes, that area of the code has a bunch more possible optimisations, but it's 'good enough' for me at this point so I'm not planning to continue pulling at the thread right now. If you wanted to look yourself, I left the script I used for benchmarking and profiling in https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/issues/2622#issuecommen...

what terminal emulator do you use and why?
For this reason, and because I think the Zellij project is interesting, I currently use a combination of Alacritty and Zellij, as I consider the risk of OSC52 in my use case to be relatively low.

How would I get the name of the program running in the window that zellij run was ran in?
Hot to run a script on a keybind

vim-tmux-navigator is awesome
Wait until you hear about Zellij

Zellij New WASM Plugin System
(Does HN have an indentation limit, I can't seem to reply to imsnif…)
I'm always running the latest zellij, but I start btop in a tab right away and see what happens.
I did mention it in https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/issues/1625#issuecommen... and noticed the issue is still open, so I have tried btop in zellij since v0.36.0.
I entered a comment ( https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/issues/1625#issuecommen... ) before I read your comment here. Please let me know if that is sufficient.
