This is cool! I wanted to do something similar a while back, but decided I want out of the term, instead of trying to bring more robust UIs into my term.

My goal was to have an editor, like Vim/Kakoune, use a window manager like tmux to provide more rich GUI features, such as popups and overlays. All of that in an ideally easy to use dev UX, making scripting information plugins intuitive and easy.

As mentioned, in the end I just said I probably want a GUI proper.

Very cool! :)

Some DOS textmode IDEs used to have window management like that.
