Examples

Example session files to get you started with trm. These files are also available in the examples/ directory of the source repository.

Basic: Single Terminal

The simplest possible setup -- a single terminal pane with default settings:

# trm.toml
[[panes]]
title = "Shell"

Development Workflow

A 2x2 grid with an editor, dev server, test runner, and embedded preview:

title = "Dev Workflow"
rows = 2
cols = 2

[[panes]]
title = "Editor"
cwd = "~/projects/myapp"
watermark = "EDIT"

[[panes]]
title = "Server"
cwd = "~/projects/myapp"
initial_commands = ["npm run dev"]
watermark = "SRV"

[[panes]]
title = "Tests"
cwd = "~/projects/myapp"
initial_commands = ["cargo watch -x test"]
watermark = "TEST"

[[panes]]
type = "webview"
title = "Preview"
url = "http://localhost:3000"

Multi-LLM Grid

A 3x3 grid running multiple LLM sessions simultaneously, with broadcast mode to send the same prompt to all:

title = "LLM Grid"
rows = 3
cols = 3

[[panes]]
title = "Claude 1"
initial_commands = ["claude"]

[[panes]]
title = "Claude 2"
initial_commands = ["claude"]

[[panes]]
title = "Claude 3"
initial_commands = ["claude"]

[[panes]]
title = "Claude 4"
initial_commands = ["claude"]

[[panes]]
title = "Claude 5"
initial_commands = ["claude"]

[[panes]]
title = "Claude 6"
initial_commands = ["claude"]

[[panes]]
title = "Claude 7"
initial_commands = ["claude"]

[[panes]]
title = "Claude 8"
initial_commands = ["claude"]

[[panes]]
title = "Claude 9"
initial_commands = ["claude"]

Use Cmd+Shift+B to enable broadcast mode and send the same prompt to all 9 instances at once.
