I tried herdr recently, and I missed many tmux features I really liked.

tmux has a better `prefix-[` mode where you 1) can do visual selection using line/block mode 2) you can use `o` to switch to other side (just like vim) 3) it pauses/freezes the state of the output so you have time to capture

In herdr, its very basic and incomplete if you're a vim/nvim/tmux power user. And if you're in a TUI that shows some text and then hides it, its hard to do the selection in herdr before it disappears.

To give herdr credit, I did like it's `prefix-e` which opens the history in vim so you can you real selection utils.

As I was looking at herdr, I found there many other solutions that were like it built on the more robust tmux. I am still evaluating, but there are plenty of solutions that have hooks to observe what's going on in agents in other panes/windows like herdr.

I like the Primeagen's `tmux sessionizer` style solutions for nvim to work with git worktrees that each agent may be in. And I like the tmux-agent-sidebar.

Same here, I do not see the point of herdr if you're already using tmux. It's very easy to add hooks to your favorite harness to display a notification in tmux when it's done working.
