Great idea! But I think unicode symbols are very small
Was there anything special about the tmux config used? What keybindings were used to move between panes? Seemed like snappier movement than you'd get with the defaults, unless maybe the video was sped up.
Default configuration:
Create vertical: cmd + %
Create horizontal: cmd + "
Move: cmd + up/down/left/right
Create vertical: cmd + %
Create horizontal: cmd + "
Move: cmd + up/down/left/right
No matter how fancy we make our interfaces, the power tools seems to be a grid of command lines.
what is the point of this?
Probably none, it's just cool. This is a hack.
is it? seems tedious
well... then sticking a pair of rusty forks into my eyeballs can be called a hack too!
Just for fun
Would probably be a lot easier in Google Sheets with cut and paste.
What needs to be done is building a project that can "move" pieces from one square to another, according to the rules of chess.
At the very least, use Unicode chess pieces[1] instead of typing "black pawn" everywhere.
