That’s been a pretty standard feature of tmux since forever.

In fact the reason I first discovered tmux was because some Irssi (terminal IRC client) plugins used tmux to create additional panes for Irssi.

tmux is one of those tools that does a lot more than most people realise but the learning curve is steep and features aren’t easy to discover.

Zellij looks interesting but these days I mostly use tmux as a control plane rather than a terminal UI. So the enhancements of Zellij are wasted on me.
