Question 1

Is there a native tmux for Windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. psmux is a terminal multiplexer built in Rust specifically for Windows 10 and 11. It provides tmux compatible commands, keybindings, and configuration without WSL, Cygwin, or MSYS2.

Question 2

Does psmux require WSL?

Accepted Answer

No. psmux is a single native Windows binary. It works directly with Windows Terminal, PowerShell, and cmd.exe with zero dependencies.

Question 3

How do I install psmux?

Accepted Answer

Install with winget install psmux, scoop install psmux, choco install psmux, cargo install psmux, or a PowerShell one liner from the GitHub repository.

Question 4

Will my existing .tmux.conf work with psmux?

Accepted Answer

Yes. psmux reads your existing .tmux.conf, so your keybindings, status line, and muscle memory carry over to Windows.
