Hi,
while I usually prefer the simple one line borders, I'm also
sometimes in need of some pane details. Therefore I bound
set -w pane-border-status
to a key. To show the pane number, as in your screenshot,
you can set pane-border-format to
" Pane #D "
I use a much more verbose setting like this:
" #D #{pane_current_path} #[dim]#T#[none]
#{pane_width}x#{pane_height} #{pane_tty} "
Together with a bit of bash magic, the #T shows the process
currently running. For quite a while I used
trap 'printf "\e]0;%s\a" "$BASH_COMMAND" > /dev/tty' DEBUG
But it has some limitations: When running 'a; b; c', it only
shows one command after each other "a" -> "b" -> "c", and
when running 'a | b | c' only shows 'c'. So now I use
bind -x '"\C-o":printf "\e]0;%s\a" "$READLINE_LINE"'
bind 'RETURN: "\C-o\n"'
Which is known to "fail" at all sorts of history expansion
like '!!' (which re-runs the last command, but shows "!!"
in the title).

Hi,
I've been a long-time user of tmux and love its stability and
scriptability. However, I've recently been looking at Zellij and find its
pane UI particularly appealing for visual organization.
I would like to propose adding support for a "Zellij-styled" pane rendering
option in tmux.
Specifically, I am interested in:
* Pane Frames: A distinct border/frame around each pane that contains the
pane title and status, rather than just a simple line divider.
* Adjustable Margins/Padding: The ability to configure spacing/padding
inside/outside the pane borders. This would allow users to create a cleaner
visual separation between the border and the content, greatly enhancing
layout flexibility.
* Rounded Corners: (Optional) Support for rounded borders if the terminal
font/renderer allows.
* Sticky/Floating Headers: Keeping pane titles visible and distinct within
the frame.
I believe these changes would greatly improve readability when managing
many splits, making it easier to see which pane is active and what process
is running in it at a glance.
I have attached a reference screenshot of Zellij to illustrate exactly what
I mean by this styling.
Is this something that could be implemented via a user option or a plugin
interface in the future?
Thank you for your hard work on tmux!
