Unfortunately, tmux -CC has no public spec and is hard to port to another terminal emulator. I decided to write a replacement for tmux -CC called "Headless Terminal Multiplexer" (HTM). Here are the reasons why I'm writing something new:
tmux -CC is tied to iTerm, which is itself tied to OS/X. I am adding support for HTM in hyper.js, which is a terminal emulator that runs in most desktop OSes. One day we will be able to use laptops with a hardware escape key again.
HTM is an open spec that can be adopted by many terminal emulators. Wez Furlong, author of Wezterm, has helped write the API.
Some minor design changes, such as having HTM own a single window.
Here's a link to a video showing HTM working with Hyper.js: https://youtu.be/Ea6Y08tP-RI

Unfortunately, The hyper team would not accept the HTM PR: https://github.com/zeit/hyper/pull/3026
I want to make sure that bterm is willing to review a PR that adds HTM support before I start coding. Let me know, thanks!
