Tmux Pane Font Resize

This repository contains a jointly patched combination of Alacritty and tmux to support scaling fonts of specific tmux panes.

Here's a screenshot of it in action:

The implementation works, however it's in an experimental development stage.

Obtaining this source

Using Git:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/da-x/alacritmux

Building and testing

Building and testing can be done in isolation from installed Alacritty and Tmux binaries.

Build

We should build both patched programs. Please see each program's build instruction for more detail.

cd alacritty
cargo build --release
# Or `cargo build` for a dev build
cd ..

cd tmux
./configure
cd ..

Run

# Cleanup a previous session first (useful if we rebuilt tmux)
./tmux/tmux -L alacritmux kill-server

# Start a new session
alacritty/target/release/alacritty -e ./tmux/tmux -L alacritmux

# Or, if you built the dev version of Alacritty:
# alacritty/target/debug/alacritty -e ./tmux/tmux -L alacritmux
