HTM Integration #2978
Description
Many people would like to use tmux -CC with Hyper.js (see #2406 ).
Unfortunately, tmux -CC has no public spec and is hard to port to another terminal emulator. I decided to write a replacement for tmux -CC called "Headless Terminal Multiplexer" (HTM). Here are the reasons why I'm writing something new:
- tmux -CC is tied to iTerm, which is itself tied to OS/X. I am adding support for HTM in hyper.js, which is a terminal emulator that runs in most desktop OSes. One day we will be able to use laptops with a hardware escape key again.
- HTM is an open spec that can be adopted by many terminal emulators. Wez Furlong, author of Wezterm, has helped write the API.
- Some minor design changes, such as having HTM own a single window.
I've been making steady progress and should have a Hyper.js PR soon. Here's a link to a video showing HTM working with Hyper.js: https://youtu.be/Ea6Y08tP-RI
