Tmux Integration (tmux -CC)

Tmux Integration making it easier and more efficient for you to work with tmux. With this integration, tmux sessions, windows, and panes are mapped and displayed in the native user interface. All commonly used tmux features are fully supported, creating a near-perfect fusion between tmux and WindTerm.

Tmux Integration supports:

Agent forwarding

Agent

Agent Forwarding is a powerful feature that enhances remote access security by allowing the use of private SSH keys locally without exposing them to remote servers.

Performance

Terminal

The meticulous refinement of the code, coupled with the carefully optimized framework, further enhances the performance by 20%~30% compared to version 2.6.1. All operations respond more promptly and smoothly.
