That is how it goes here, too.

That would also be a use case, yes. It is just that tmux is
de-facto my "window manager" now, in my one (the non-web-browser)
account. So i have multiple windows i work in, but that wide
screen would take 2 1/2 80 column windows, so the space is unused.
Then -- often -- it would be nice to place the IRC window in that
unused space. Or the documentation window, etc. So that you can
switch windows but still have that IRC window in sight all the
time.
|But i can def see value in your ask . Maybe you can submit formal PR \
|for this , and see if more people would want something similar .
Well i have no github account. I just had the impression that
what i have said multiple times in the public about tmux could fit
a bit into this thread of yours, so saying it in this public here
could possibly be the stimulus for something that could land at
a later time.
