Platform notes

bmux uses Electron and is intended to run across desktop platforms. Development starts with the same commands:

pnpm install
pnpm dev

macOS

Building the native pointer integration requires Xcode Command Line Tools. Application state defaults to ~/Library/Application Support/bmux.

The current pnpm package script produces an unsigned .app bundle. Local GUI tests use a Tart virtual machine. See Packaging and the Tart test setup.

Default direct shortcuts use Command. Find in page uses Command+F. Change shortcuts in keyboard configuration.

Linux and Windows

Run bmux from source with pnpm dev. Platform-specific installers aren't configured in this repository yet. Find in page uses Control+F; other direct shortcuts can be changed in keyboard configuration.
