Hey, Zellij dev here. I'll try to answer your questions: - regarding layouts/panes: the panes you configure in the layouts are still resizable a runtime. It just saves you the initial setup. In Zellij you also have a generic non-directional "do what I want" resize, btw. - regarding plugins: the plugin system is indeed very much a work in progress, mostly because we're an OSS volunteer project and the person in charge of it had to AFK for a while. That being said, I think it's not very difficult to imagine how plugins will be different from normal apps? Think about interaction with panes/layouts, easy distribution, interaction with the terminal assets themselves (imagine custom expandable folds depending on content, notifications depending on content, etc.) and more along those lines.

Thanks for the response. > regarding layouts/panes: the panes you configure in the layouts are still resizable a runtime. It just saves you the initial setup. I might use a "save current layout as a template" command, I guess. But I don't think I'd ever bother to learn the custom configuration format for building these myself. If you already have such a command, I'd suggest highlighting that on the site instead of a screenshot of YAML. > imagine custom expandable folds depending on content, notifications depending on content OK, this seems like it might be interesting to play with. Is there any "killer plugin" for it yet?

  > I might use a "save current layout as a template" command, I guess. FWIW, this is available in tmux as a plugin. Very convenient and highly recommended. https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect I haven't tried Zellij, but it looks interesting. This is a great feature, and I think incorporating it into the base software reflects good UX priorities.
