About Psmux

Psmux is a native Windows terminal multiplexer built in Rust for PowerShell, Windows Terminal, and cmd.exe. It uses Windows ConPTY, accepts tmux commands, reads .tmux.conf files, and supports tmux themes without WSL, Cygwin, or MSYS2. It supports split panes, multiple windows, session detach and reattach, and mouse input, and provides psmux, pmux, and tmux commands that work the same. It requires Windows 10 or Windows 11, with PowerShell 7 or later recommended.
