Add cmux support to teammateMode
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 29, 2026 by metahan88-droid Closed May 2, 2026
Feature request
Currently teammateMode in settings.json only supports tmux, in-process, and auto (which falls back to in-process when not in a tmux session). It would be useful to add cmux as an additional backend so users running cmux can get the same split-pane experience tmux users get.
Current behavior
- In a tmux session: teammates spawn in tmux split panes (great UX)
- In cmux (or any non-tmux multiplexer): falls back to
in-process, no split-pane UI
Proposed behavior
- Add
"cmux"as a validteammateModeenum value - Have
autodetect cmux sessions and use cmux split panes when available - Document the cmux integration alongside tmux/iTerm2
Why
Users who prefer cmux over tmux currently have to either switch multiplexers or lose the split-pane teammate UX. Adding cmux as a first-class backend removes that friction.
Environment
- macOS (Darwin 25.4.0)
- Claude Code (current version)
