Rex Shows Off Scriptable Floating Panes
Mitchell Hashimoto demos Rex’s floating panes, showing how blocks can be layered, resized, repositioned, and controlled through scripts. Rex combines a native terminal workspace with persistent sessions, remote connectivity, and automation via Lua and its API.
// ANALYSIS
Rex’s floating-pane model makes terminal workspaces feel closer to a programmable desktop than a traditional tmux layout.
- –Floating blocks can be created, moved, resized, stacked, and toggled through the Lua API
- –Scriptability makes repeatable developer workflows and agent-driven workspace orchestration practical
- –Native UI polish gives Rex a meaningful usability advantage over terminal-first multiplexers
- –The product remains early-stage, with public testing still expanding beyond macOS [Public testing announcement](https://www.superlogical.com/updates/public-testing-beginning)
