Tmux 3.7 Terminal Multiplexer Released with Initial Floating Pane Support
Tmux 3.7 has been released, introducing initial floating pane support that allows panes to appear on top of other content, along with several other improvements and bug fixes for the terminal multiplexer.
Background
Tmux is a terminal multiplexer for Unix-like systems, widely used by developers and system administrators to manage multiple terminal sessions within a single window. Version 3.7 introduces experimental floating-pane support, allowing certain windows to overlay others (similar to a feature that its rival, tmux's older competitor GNU Screen, lacks, but that modern terminal emulators like Kitty or WezTerm offer). This is a notable quality-of-life addition for power users who organize complex workflows with many concurrent command-line tasks.
