Tmux 3.6 Update Adds Scrollbars, New Theme Mode (linuxiac.com)

Over a year after the 3.5 release, Tmux 3.6, a terminal multiplexer that lets you split your terminal into panes, manage multiple sessions, and keep them running in the background, is now available, bringing a wide range of improvements and a few standout additions.

One of the most noticeable additions is the added native scrollbar support. The new pane-scrollbars option enables scrollbars directly inside panes.

The update also introduces support for the Mode 2031 theme, automatically reporting the dark or light theme. Alongside this, format operators receive several enhancements, including improved boolean expressions, new loop sorting behavior, and a broader set of variables that expose buffer, session, and cursor-style information.

YESSSSS

I've been using Zellij whenever I can cause tmux is so limited. It'll also be probably years before this release hits Debian repos, so if I'm having to manually install a binary, might as well get something modern.

for me the problem with Zellij is that it doesn't support images regardless of the fact that you could be using a terminal that does support them. Tmux does support them. I've also found tmux a lot easier to customize.

The dev of Zellij also won't be adding this any time soon and when brought up to him he laughs it off.
