Nice!  I wasn't aware of zellij - but will be giving that a look.  Big 
fan of tmux and this looks similar.  Also had seen btop long ago but 
forgotten about it.  Very slick utility there, gonna re-visit that too.

Been meaning to to a test look at Enigma too, for a long time.  Will try 
to hurry that up, and thanks a lot for the inputs!
