    That’s good to hear!
    I just tried Byobu in Konsole on Plasma 6, and it did not go well, so I can definitely see why your impression wouldn’t be great.
    I’ve not watched their videos, and originally found it really easy to work through the keyboard shortcuts, but some combination of KDE and Konsole just eats up all the key combinations. If this was my first experience, I would have bounced off immediately.

      That tracks, I also happen to be on Konsole and Plasma 6! That explains things!

      About the video, it’s a wordless demonstration with minimal in-terminal narration and … Mozart as the soundtrack for some reason? The whole thing along with the manpages-only doc did give me newbie-hostile, elitist vibes which were a stark contrast with zellij’s “look at all the cool things I can do!”, friendly approach.

      Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate well written manpages, goodness knows they’re often written as an afterthought, but zellij’s documentation is just amazing at getting you started and understand the philosophy with a super hands-on approach. Honestly, kudos to them.
