And for those who are tmux users, zellij can be configured to be more space efficient, ie reduce borders to a single line. There are even tmux bindings.

I've since grown fond of zellij's locked mode which hides all keybindings behind a Ctrl+G toggle. That behaves more like vim modes than the awkward Ctrl+B in tmux.

Is it possible to remove the session name and the text that says „zellij“? They take up too much space.
The session name yes, the branding no. You can create a custom plugin though instead of the built-in UI ones and render whatever you like...
100% Agree. Unfortunately no. They say it's a way to promote their small project.
If it's bothersome, building a custom copy of the project looks to be as simple as `git clone` and `cargo build`.
locked mode is my fav as well. I used it to re-make a DoomEmacs-like workspace with helix.
