I'm one of the creators of cmux. I'm moving a lot of my own dev work to Mac Minis, so I'm starting to feel quite a lot of the pain you mentioned... will try to make this better!

Could you file an issue with more details: https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/issues

Would greatly appreciate it!

Should be fixed in latest release (0.58.0). Please let me know if it's still an issue!

Thanks for the feedback! Mitchell Hashimoto is awesome. Have a PR for fixing devtools here: https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/pull/117

> hotkey overrides - I have some things explicitly unmapped / remapped in my ghostty config that conflict with some cmux keybindings and weren't respected

We need to be better about this; right now you can modify keyboard shorcuts with cmd+, in the GUI. Planning on making it a config file in the spirit of ghostty though, not sure if we want to reuse ghostty's config file though since it might become a maintenance burden for them...

> command palette (cmd-shift-p) for less-often-used actions + discoverability

yes

> cmd-z to "zoom in" to a pane is enormously useful imo

Thinking of the right way to design this. Like hypothetically we can expand it, but what happens if you make a vertical/horizontal split, or cmd+t to make a new tab? I guess we could just "merge" it back into the original space which would be pretty cool.

We're working on a tmux/it2 compatibility layer to make this happen!

No built in way to override new-pane actions right now, but `cmux --help` can automate all parts of cmux.

So you can make your own script that can make new panels/workspaces and just invoke it from the terminal:

  git worktree add -b my-branch ../repo-my-branch
  ws=$(cmux new-workspace 2>&1 | awk '{print $2}')
  cmux send --workspace "$ws" "cd ../repo-my-branch && claude"
  cmux send-key --workspace "$ws" Enter
I think we should make this easier though, open to suggestions!

zmx solves persistence well, and I like their minimalism (not supporting windows, tabs, or splits). I think it's possible to make a CLI wrapper for zmx that adds notifications though, so you can have some niceties of cmux without switching to a new terminal. Lowkey we might explore this direction as well.

Sorry you likely encountered this issue: https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/issues/103

The latest release (0.57.0) should fix it.

Excited that someone besides me wants this! I want to hear more about your warm container host, is that shared between multiple people, or just yourself?

Also want some feedback on how we should implement it. Could make it a CLI command that opens a new vertical tab/workspace:

  cmux ssh <host>
Or maybe a configurable dropdown next to the plus button.

Haha, it's like we're moving towards an IDE but starting from the opposite direction.

> a cron or hook that runs tmux capture-pane on each agent pane and checks for the idle prompt is enough to know when one needs attention.

Curious why you aren't using Claude Code's stop/notification hook

> Separate Chrome profiles per agent is the brute-force fix, but it's expensive. The better pattern is treating browser access as a serialized resource — one agent gets it at a time, with the others queued.

Ports could also be another serialized resource. Another direction we're exploring is to give agents VMs that have Chrome + VNC preinstalled [1]. Prompting Claude to use Docker also goes a long way there.

Very cool stuff! Would be curious if the stuff you've built is open sourced? Having a bunch of Claude Codes will definitely eat a ton of CPU/RAM. libghostty should help to a certain extent, but at some scale, you'll probably a custom optimized agent loop or remote VMs.

Ah, like a way to maximize the current pane you're focused on?
