Zellijer

Frontend to a start Zellij by either attaching to existing sessions or using a layout.

Zellijer is intended to be a program that could be launched when creating a toplevel terminal. It provides a choice of zellij sessions to attach to and a list of layouts to start a new session.

Basically, I saw a pain point when I started using a multiplexer and my first thought was to create rofi/dmenu interface. But I have been wanting to try Bubbletea for a while and this seemed like a good fit. Bubbles List is basically dmenu in TUI form already.

Features

• Layout list is currently only top level in one zellij layout directory
• List current sessions

Usage

NOTE: it appears these directions may cause env to be broken. looking into it.

Fish

Add this to your fish config file

if set -q ZELLIJ
else
    zellijer
end

TODO

• Update in app help/hints
• Add keys for common use cases
• Use spinner for loading
• Name sessions before creation
• Get layouts recursively
• Get layouts from multiple directories
• Support manually adding layouts

Possible future

• Support other multiplexers
• Edit layouts
• Generate layouts from a session
