🤖cy

the time traveling terminal multiplexer

What is this?

cy is an experimental terminal multiplexer that aims to be a simple, modern, and ergonomic alternative to tmux.

I have used tmux for nearly a decade and while it is a powerful tool, it has its fair share of inadequacies. I built a plugin, tmux-oakthree that simplifies tmux to match my workflow exactly, but over time I found that I still wanted more.

The cy project has a few main goals:

• Be beautiful, fast, and easy-to-use, particularly for users who have not used tmux or who are intimidated by its default configuration.
• Allow users to search in and replay any cy session.
• Stay simple. cy is specifically not a clone of tmux and will never have all of its functionality (panes, etc).

Roadmap

• Usability
• Development
  • Implement oakthree
    • Allow users to kill parts of the tree
    • Store pane jump history
  • Allow for providing binding scope
  • Logging API in Janet
    • Support unmarshaling Janet table to map[string]interface{}
• Replay
  • Record all sessions and save in custom file format
    • Is this also the .borg file format?
  • Allow users to search through history
  • Don't record bytes matching regex (IPs etc)
