Honeymux — Beginner Guide

Overview

Honeymux (hmx) is a terminal user interface (TUI) wrapper that makes tmux—a powerful but notoriously complex terminal multiplexer—accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Think of it as bringing modern UI design to the command line: toolbars, sidebars, pane tabs, window tabs, and visual session menus replace cryptic keybindings and hidden configuration.

Why Honeymux Matters

If you've ever wanted to run multiple terminal commands at once without opening a dozen terminal windows, or if you work with servers and need persistent sessions, tmux is the answer. But tmux has a steep learning curve—it's powerful, but cryptic. Honeymux removes that friction by layering a beautiful, intuitive interface on top of tmux.

The result: You get terminal multiplexing superpowers without memorizing keybindings or wrestling with configuration files. Honeymux is tagged as "pre-1.0 software," so it's actively evolving, but it's already production-ready.

What You'll Learn

By the end of this guide, you'll:

Install and launch Honeymux
Understand how sessions, windows, and panes work (no tmux knowledge required)
Navigate the Honeymux UI with confidence
Create and manage terminal workspaces
Split screens and organize your work
Save and reuse workspace layouts
Extend Honeymux with hooks for monitoring long-running processes
Connect to remote servers via SSH
Customize themes to match your style

Prerequisites

System Requirements

macOS or Linux (including WSL2 on Windows)
A modern terminal emulator (Kitty, iTerm2, Alacritty, or Terminal.app all work)
Homebrew (optional, for easy installation on macOS)

Knowledge Requirements

Basic terminal/CLI comfort: You know how to open a terminal and run commands like ls and cd
No tmux knowledge needed: Honeymux handles all the tmux complexity for you
No configuration experience needed: Honeymux works out of the box with zero config

Nice-to-Have

Familiarity with terminal editors (nano, vim) or a GUI text editor
SSH access to a remote server (optional, for the SSH pane stitching section)
15 minutes to follow along with the hands-on examples

Key Concepts

Before you launch Honeymux, let's demystify the concepts it's built on. Don't worry—they're simpler than they sound.

The tmux Foundation: Sessions, Windows, and Panes

Honeymux is built on tmux, a terminal multiplexer created in 2007. Here's the hierarchy:

Session (Your workspace)
├── Window (Like a tab in your workspace)
│   ├── Pane (A split within that tab)
│   └── Pane (Another split)
└── Window 2
    ├── Pane
    └── Pane

Session: A complete workspace. You might have a "work" session and a "personal" session. Sessions persist—if you disconnect, they wait for you.

Window: Like a tab. A session can have many windows. Switch between them quickly.

Pane: A subdivided area within a window. One window can have 2, 4, or 20 panes arranged however you like.

Why this matters: You can organize your work logically. A "dev" session might have a window for your editor, another for running servers, another for logs—all without opening new terminal windows.

The Honeymux UI Layer

Honeymux wraps tmux with a modern interface:

Toolbar (top): Keyboard shortcuts, quick commands, status info Sidebar (left): Your sessions and windows, organized and clickable Pane Tabs: Each pane gets a tab so you can click between them Window Tabs: Each window gets a tab Command Palette: Press Ctrl+K to search and run commands Session Menu: Create, delete, and rename sessions with a mouse or keyboard

Layout Profiles

Honeymux lets you save and reload workspace layouts. Set up your perfect "dev" workspace once, save it, and reload it whenever you need it. Layouts are portable and version-controllable.

Base16 Theming

Honeymux supports Base16 color schemes. If you love terminal themes, you can customize colors to match your editor and terminal.

Hook-Based Agent Monitoring

Honeymux can monitor long-running processes (like CI/CD agents, data pipelines, or training scripts) and visually notify you when they change state. This is perfect for developers working with coding agents.

Remote Pane Stitching

With SSH support, you can merge tmux panes from your local machine with panes on a remote server. All in one Honeymux session.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Installation

Option A: Homebrew (Recommended for macOS)

brew install honeymux/tap/hmx

Verify the installation:

hmx --version

You should see output like: hmx 0.x.x

Option B: Universal Installer (macOS & Linux)

curl -fsSL https://get.hmx.dev | bash

This script detects your OS and installs Honeymux. After installation, restart your terminal or run:

source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc if you use zsh

Verify Installation

which hmx
hmx --help

2. First Launch

Open your terminal and type:

hmx

What you'll see: The Honeymux TUI appears with:

A toolbar at the top showing keybindings
A sidebar on the left (initially empty)
The main session area in the center
A status bar at the bottom

Congratulations—you're running Honeymux!

3. Understanding the UI

At the very top, you'll see helpful hints like:

^C: Quit
^K: Command palette
Navigation shortcuts

These change based on what you're doing.

The sidebar (left side) shows:

Sessions: Click or press arrow keys to switch between sessions
Windows: Under each session, click to switch windows
Current pane indicator: Shows which pane is active

Pane Tabs

Within a window, if you have multiple panes, each pane gets a tab at the top. Click to switch panes.

The Command Palette

Press Ctrl+K to open a searchable command menu. Start typing to find commands like "new session," "split pane," or "save layout."

4. Creating Your First Session

Press Ctrl+K and search for "new session":

> new session

You'll see a prompt asking for a session name. Type:

mywork

Press Enter. Honeymux creates a session named "mywork" and opens it in the sidebar. You now have a blank terminal ready to use.

Try it: Type a command, like ls -la. It works exactly like a normal terminal.

5. Splitting Panes

Now let's split your pane into multiple parts. Press Ctrl+K and search for "split":

> split pane vertical

Press Enter. Your pane splits into two columns. You now have two independent terminals side-by-side.

Try it:

Left pane: while true; do date; sleep 1; done (shows the time updating)
Right pane: top (shows running processes)

Click between the pane tabs (or press arrow keys) to switch focus between them.

Horizontal split: Use Ctrl+K → "split pane horizontal" to split vertically into top/bottom.

6. Creating Windows

Windows are like tabs for multiple layouts. Press Ctrl+K and search for "new window":

> new window

A new window appears in the sidebar. You're in a fresh workspace. This is useful for grouping related tasks.

Example workflow:

Window 1: Code editor
Window 2: Running servers
Window 3: Monitoring logs

Click the window tabs to switch between them.

Press Ctrl+K and search for "session menu":

> session menu

A visual menu appears listing all your sessions. You can:

Click to switch sessions
Create a new session
Rename the current session
Delete a session

Try renaming "mywork" to something more descriptive.

8. Saving and Loading Layout Profiles

Layout profiles save your entire workspace structure (sessions, windows, panes, and their arrangement).

Save a layout:

Press Ctrl+K and search for "save layout":

> save layout

Name it something memorable, like dev-workspace. Honeymux saves the layout.

Load a layout:

Press Ctrl+K and search for "load layout":

> load layout

Select dev-workspace. Honeymux recreates your entire workspace instantly.

Where layouts are stored: ~/.config/hmx/layouts/ (you can version-control these!)

9. Using the Command Palette

The command palette (Ctrl+K) is your gateway to Honeymux. Get comfortable with it:

Ctrl+K → "split" → Enter
Ctrl+K → "new window" → Enter
Ctrl+K → "theme" → Enter
Ctrl+K → "help" → Enter

Type partial commands—the search is smart. Type "split" and you'll see both "split pane vertical" and "split pane horizontal."

10. Taking Screenshots

Press Ctrl+K and search for "screenshot":

> screenshot

Honeymux captures your current session layout and saves it to ~/.config/hmx/screenshots/. Useful for documentation or sharing your setup.

Practical Examples

Example 1: Development Workspace

Let's create a realistic development setup: code editor, running server, and logs side-by-side.

Step 1: Create a new session named "dev"

hmx
# Ctrl+K → "new session" → "dev"

Step 2: Split horizontally to create top and bottom panes

Ctrl+K → "split pane horizontal"

Step 3: In the top pane, open your code editor

nvim .  # or nano, vim, code, etc.

Step 4: Click the bottom pane (or press arrow keys to focus it)

npm start  # or python app.py, ruby app.rb, etc.

Step 5: Create a new window for logs

Ctrl+K → "new window"

Step 6: In this window, tail a log file

tail -f ~/logs/app.log

Step 7: Save this layout

Ctrl+K → "save layout" → "dev-workspace"

Now every time you need this setup, just load the layout and you're ready to code.

Example 2: Monitoring Long-Running Processes with Hook-Based Agent Monitoring

Suppose you're running an AI coding agent or a CI/CD pipeline. Honeymux can monitor it and alert you when it finishes.

Step 1: Create a session for agent monitoring

hmx
# Ctrl+K → "new session" → "agents"

Step 2: Start your agent in one pane

python my_agent.py --config production.yaml

Step 3: Configure a hook (this requires editing a config file, but Honeymux handles it)

Edit ~/.config/hmx/config.yaml (create if it doesn't exist):

hooks:
  - name: "agent-complete"
    command: "test -f /tmp/agent_done"
    on_success:
      - notify: "Agent finished! Check results."
      - color: green

Honeymux will periodically check if your agent has completed and notify you visually.

Step 4: Arrange your panes to show related info

# Pane 1: Agent output
python my_agent.py

# Pane 2: Monitor logs
tail -f /tmp/agent.log

# Pane 3: Check results
watch -n 1 'ls -lh /tmp/results'

Now you can see your agent's progress at a glance without switching windows.

Example 3: Remote Servers via SSH Pane Stitching

Honeymux can merge local and remote tmux sessions. Imagine working on a local machine and a remote server in the same Honeymux session.

Step 1: Ensure the remote server has tmux installed

ssh user@remote.server
tmux --version  # Verify tmux is available
exit

Step 2: Create a local session with Honeymux

hmx
# Ctrl+K → "new session" → "work"

Step 3: In one pane, SSH to your server

ssh user@remote.server

Step 4: Use Honeymux's SSH pane stitching (via command palette)

Ctrl+K → "attach remote" → "user@remote.server"

Honeymux now shows panes from both your local machine and the remote server. You can copy/paste between them seamlessly.

Example 4: Customizing Themes with Base16

Honeymux supports Base16 color schemes. To change themes:

Step 1: List available themes

hmx --list-themes
# or via command palette
Ctrl+K → "theme"

Step 2: Switch to a theme you like

Ctrl+K → "theme" → Select "dracula" (or your favorite)

Step 3: Make it permanent by editing ~/.config/hmx/config.yaml

theme: "dracula"  # or "gruvbox", "nord", "solarized", etc.

Now all your Honeymux sessions use your chosen theme.

Key Differences Explained

Honeymux vs. OpenMux:

OpenMux is a complete terminal multiplexer written in Rust with its own PTY layer. It's not a tmux wrapper—it replaces tmux entirely. Honeymux, by contrast, wraps tmux and adds a UI layer. If you need tmux-specific features or plugins, use Honeymux. If you want a modern alternative to tmux from scratch, try OpenMux.

Honeymux vs. tmuxp/tmuxinator:

tmuxp and tmuxinator save session layouts in YAML files. They're great for DevOps but require editing config files. Honeymux gives you a visual interface to build layouts interactively, then saves them automatically.

Honeymux vs. Sesh:

Sesh is a terminal session manager that works alongside tmux. It excels at session switching. Honeymux is more comprehensive—it enhances tmux with a full UI layer, including pane management, window tabs, and more.

Honeymux vs. tmux-resurrect/tmux-continuum:

These are tmux plugins focused on session persistence and recovery. Honeymux includes session persistence out of the box, plus many other features (UI, layout profiles, monitoring).

Hands-On Exercises

Try these to solidify what you've learned:

Exercise 1: Build a Multi-Window Workspace

Goal: Create a session with 3 windows and save the layout.

Launch Honeymux: hmx
Create a session: Ctrl+K → "new session" → "practice"
In Window 1, split panes horizontally: Ctrl+K → "split pane horizontal"
- Top pane: echo "This is pane 1" && sleep 60
- Bottom pane: echo "This is pane 2" && sleep 60
Create a new window: Ctrl+K → "new window"
- Run: echo "Window 2"
Create another window: Ctrl+K → "new window"
- Run: date and sleep 30
Save the layout: Ctrl+K → "save layout" → "practice-setup"
Quit Honeymux: Ctrl+C
Relaunch and load your layout: Ctrl+K → "load layout" → "practice-setup"

Success: Your multi-window workspace reappears exactly as you left it.

Exercise 2: Organize a Real Workflow

Goal: Create a realistic development session and navigate it smoothly.

Launch Honeymux: hmx
Create a session: Ctrl+K → "new session" → "myapp"
Split the current pane horizontally
In the top pane, navigate to a project: cd ~/my_project && ls -la
In the bottom pane, check system resources: top
Create a new window for documentation: Ctrl+K → "new window"
Run: python -m http.server 8000 (starts a local web server)
Switch back to the first window using the sidebar or tabs
Try different split arrangements using Ctrl+K → "split"

Success: You can smoothly navigate between windows and panes without losing your place.

Exercise 3: Explore the Command Palette

Goal: Get comfortable with command discovery.

Launch Honeymux: hmx
Create a session: Ctrl+K → "new session" → "explore"
Try these command palette searches:
- Ctrl+K → "help" (read the guide)
- Ctrl+K → "new" (see all creation commands)
- Ctrl+K → "kill" (see deletion commands)
- Ctrl+K → "zoom" (explore pane zoom)
- Ctrl+K → "theme" (preview themes)
Bonus: Change to a theme you like using the palette

Success: You're confident using Ctrl+K to find commands without memorizing them.

Exercise 4: Save and Restore a Layout

Goal: Practice the layout persistence workflow.

Launch Honeymux: hmx
Create a complex session:
- Session: "backup"
- Window 1: Split into 4 panes (split vertical, then split each horizontally)
- Window 2: Just one pane
- Window 3: Split horizontally
Add content to each pane (e.g., date, hostname, pwd)
Save the layout: Ctrl+K → "save layout" → "my-complex-layout"
Close and reopen Honeymux
Load the layout: Ctrl+K → "load layout" → "my-complex-layout"

Success: Every window, pane, and working directory is restored exactly as you set it up.

Troubleshooting

Issue: "Command not found: hmx"

Cause: Honeymux isn't installed or not in your PATH.

Solution:

# Verify installation
which hmx

# If not found, reinstall
brew install honeymux/tap/hmx
# or
curl -fsSL https://get.hmx.dev | bash

# Restart your shell
exec $SHELL

Issue: Honeymux doesn't display colors correctly

Cause: Your terminal doesn't support the color scheme or TERM variable is wrong.

Solution:

# Check your TERM setting
echo $TERM

# It should be something like 'xterm-256color' or 'tmux-256color'
# If not, set it
export TERM=xterm-256color

# Add to your shell config (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc) to make permanent
echo 'export TERM=xterm-256color' >> ~/.bashrc

Issue: Pane tabs aren't showing

Cause: Your terminal is too small or Honeymux is running in a compatibility mode.

Solution:

Maximize your terminal window
Use a terminal emulator that supports Honeymux well (Kitty, iTerm2, Alacritty)
Check that you're using a recent version: hmx --version

Issue: Kitty keyboard protocol not working

Cause: Kitty protocol support requires a compatible terminal and Honeymux configuration.

Solution:

# Verify your terminal supports it (Kitty, WezTerm, Foot)
# In ~/.config/hmx/config.yaml, ensure:
enable_kitty_protocol: true

# Restart Honeymux

Issue: SSH pane stitching doesn't work

Cause: Remote server doesn't have tmux installed or SSH keys aren't configured.

Solution:

# On the remote server, install tmux
ssh user@remote.server
sudo apt install tmux  # or brew install tmux on macOS

# Verify SSH key access (no password required)
ssh -o PasswordAuthentication=no user@remote.server echo "Success"

Issue: Layout profiles aren't loading

Cause: Layout file is corrupted or in the wrong location.

Solution:

# Layouts are stored here
ls -la ~/.config/hmx/layouts/

# Check for issues
cat ~/.config/hmx/layouts/myLayout  # View the file

# If corrupted, delete and recreate
rm ~/.config/hmx/layouts/myLayout
# Recreate the layout in Honeymux

Issue: Honeymux crashes or hangs

Cause: Conflict with existing tmux sessions or buggy plugin.

Solution:

# Quit all tmux sessions
tmux kill-server

# Reset Honeymux config to defaults
mv ~/.config/hmx ~/.config/hmx.backup

# Relaunch Honeymux
hmx

Issue: First-run problems or unexpected behavior

Cause: Configuration conflicts or old tmux version.

Solution:

# Ensure tmux is up-to-date
brew upgrade tmux

# Check Honeymux version (requires 0.x or later)
hmx --version

# View Honeymux logs for errors
cat ~/.config/hmx/logs/*  # if logs exist

# Check GitHub issues
# https://github.com/honeymux/hmx/issues
