I have an idea of a terminal emulator where you could maximize panes but using a nested structure, does anyone know of one?
Standard "Zoom" features in tmux or iTerm2 only maximize the single active pane to the full window, hiding everything else. If I have a layout like this:
_____________________
| | B |
| A |---------|
| | C |
|_________|_________|
And I expand B, I want A to hide, while B and C remain visible together. Then I can create a new nested workspace in there and later zoom out when I’m done.
This should be simple any time you have panes in a binary tree split view.
The hard part is the UX: making it clear that we're in a zoom state (esp with nested zooms), somehow showing the split-pane tree so that user knows what container will be filled when they zoom, etc.
Fork ghostty and get claude to one-shot it so you can see if you like the idea.
It's a bit annoying when you have a large project then someone introduces prettier. Suddenly every pull request has dozens of random formatting changes everywhere and it obscures the actual changes. It also completely nullifies the functionality of git blame (I know there are other ways to see the file history).
The autoformatter config file is checked in with the PR that’s runs it on the entire codebase. Everybody’s machine autoformats the same way.
Only things that are changed in the PR will be formatted along with the PR.
The separate problem I’ve found is any outstanding PRs at the time of running it on the whole codebase should merge in the commit before the format all, then the format all change, then current master. It’s made resolving the PR merge conflicts easier
The best way to introduce a formatter is with a git hook on commit/push (for JS projects see Husky), to ensure everyone is onboard and avoid exactly the formatting churn you mention.
Perhaps it's using one of those luminance-from-RGB vectors somewhere in the calculation? That could overrate the contribution of green to the appearance.
