I know I’m missing the obvious here, but is this a terminal multiplexer (like tmux)? Or a tiling terminal emulator (like iTerm, et al)?

- Retr0id 2y agoNeither, it's its own thing. Most similar to tmux, but you interact with it more like you'd interact with a graphical window manager.
- pancsta 2y agoSo tmux with floating panes and drag-n-drop.
- cryptonector 2y agoWith tiling, I think.
- safety1st 2y agoThe Youtube video embedded on their Github is titled "Tiling Window Manager with Drag&Drop" and from watching it, that appears to be exactly what this is. I don't know if or why it artificially constrains itself to only opening terminals.
- colecut 2y agoThe whole thing runs inside of a terminal, it would be hard to open anything else
- o-sdn-o 2y agoIt's scary to do something more complex than a terminal emulator until the architecture is unstable. In case of small changes we will have to rewrite a lot. You can play with a couple of built-in demo apps 'vtm --run text', 'vtm --run calc', 'vtm --run test', 'vtm --run truecolor'. You can also run it directly inside the vtm desktop by typing vtm.desktop.Run({ type='calc' }) in the command line of 'Log Monitor'.

- russfink 2y agoThat makes two of us.
