history

Project history and usage

tmex is a lightweight tmux command and layout composer distributed as a single shell script with no runtime dependency beyond tmux.

Project history

The official README frames tmex as a small wrapper for composing tmux dashboards from command arguments rather than from persistent configuration files. Version 2 is highlighted in the README for multi-window management, focused-pane control, multi-digit pane counts, top-level sizing, and grid sub-layouts.

Adoption history

tmex is narrow but package-friendly. Its own README advertises Homebrew and npm installation, and the supplied source facts identify the Homebrew formula as the relevant package-manager entry.

How it is used

The main use case is replacing long tmux command strings in project scripts with a shorter tmex invocation. The README specifically shows simplifying package.json scripts that start multiple panes for watchers, servers, and typecheckers.

Why package nerds care

tmex appeals to package-nerd users who like tmux but dislike carrying a custom layout script in every repository. It packages one small shell program that turns project commands into repeatable tmux panes.

Timeline

v2: Official README highlights multi-window and richer layout controls.
2026: The batch source facts list tmex as a Homebrew package.
