Tmux Grimoire

Summonable popup shells (shpells) for tmux: customizable, scriptable and driven by keybindings.

Installation

Run the interactive installer:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/navahas/tmux-grimoire/main/install.sh | bash

The script will detect your setup, configure keybindings, and add example shpells to ~/.tmux.conf.

Prefer manual setup? See docs/INSTALLATION.md
