  • Tmuxinator

    Manage complex tmux sessions easily

  • I doubt that would be possible with tmux's built-in zoom functionality (if it is, I'm not aware). You can use tools such as tmuxinator to create cusotm layouts, but I think "zoom" in tmux means "cover the whole window"

  • awesomewm-vim-tmux-navigator

    Navigate seamlessly between system windows, vim splits and tmux panes by only using awesomewm navigation keybindings.

  • Use a customizable window manager (awesomewm, for example) so you can seamlessly tile and move between operating system windows, and put your work into multiple tmux sessions in separate terminal windows… so have tall+narrow pane in a tmux terminal on left, and the horizontal panes in a separate tmux session & terminal window on the right. https://github.com/intrntbrn/awesomewm-vim-tmux-navigator is made for this.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • libtmux

    ⚙️ Python API / wrapper for tmux

  • Script-out the creation of new windows from the current window… so with the desired panes create a new window with the desired layout using the panes from the current/old window (then another script to rebuild the previous window). https://github.com/tmux-python/libtmux could make this scripting easier; I don't think tmuxinator would give you the versatile zooming effect you're looking for.
