Ask HN: Why does cmux need 200 settings?

2 pointsby 1h ago

Just recently discovered how great cmux terminal is but silly question: why does it need 200 settings? I'm trying to find how to turn certain things on and off and I gave up trying to use my human brain to search for the right thing and started asking codex.

Then I found the one settings I want (turn off the bell notification isn't even there) so I forked it and had codex add that only to discover the xcode build process takes hours. So I made a branch called "simple" and I told codex "remove 90% of the code from this branch and just make this a very simple version of cmux." And then I started adding back the few missing things:

https://github.com/andrewarrow/cmux/commits/simple/

Now it builds in 6 seconds and any custom setting I need codex just ads so the silly question is:

For a terminal app used by developers for developers who all use codex, why do we even need 1 giant 2 hour build process app with all that extra stuff? We all have xcode and since I have to use codex anyway to find the right setting, this isn't slower it's faster!

I think you are underestimating the diversity of systems and tools developers use

who all use codex

I do not

We all have xcode
