idea / problem
I run herdr 0.7.4 as a server on linux (home lab) and work from a win11
as i understand it, herdr --remote from the Windows binary is unsupported (been using the ssh workaround for some time but I wanted sth neater. I was thinking a native win11 client only binary to the exisitng linux server.
(no need to go full win native imho)
requested change
Native windows thin client for existing linux remote attach with :
herdr --remote works from a native Windows binary
Client only
Attach path in the spirit of Unix remote: SSH + bridge to remote-client-bridge, local IPC (named pipes on Win), protocol handshake
semantic InputEvents on the Win path
why you want this
Linux server is the right place for long-lived agents/panes; Windows is just where I (and likely many others) sit.
Win --remote client is neater/cleaner detach/reattach;
I’ve dogfooded this shape daily against a linux 0.7.4 server / protocol 16. Happy to share a branch if it helps anyone else.
