[Feature Request] Stick floating pane

[afonsolage]

I love floating panes and the fact that you can move it around and resize it, this is so helpful. But I would like to open it and stick it on the screen and switch back to my "normal" panes.

Currently I can only get back to my "normal" panes if I have all floating panes and I would like to have an option to stick some pane.

I this example, I would like to continue working on the "normal" pane while watching the floating pane does the build.

I know you could achieve that splitting normal panels, but this would be lovely to do with floating panes.

I like this idea very much, but just a heads up: due to some internal logic on our part, it will not be easy to implement. If anyone wants to devote time to this, I'd be happy to build a list of requirements with them.

@imsnif I would be willing to take this on! However, I will say that I am newer to the Zellij project as I've only worked on this issue in the past before the redesign: https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/issues/1460. This might not be suited for a beginner, but I would love to learn more about the internals of the project and I'd be happy to dedicate some time to this. I'm also open to working on whatever issues that might be suited more for beginners. Happy to help in anyway since I use Zellij quite a bit!

I was going to create the same feature request.

I would be nice to have an option to pin/unpin a floating pane with

• a shortcut
• mouse click on some indicator near a pane name

There could be an indicator (some symbol) near a pane name that show if the floating pane pinned or not. We can click on that indicator to pin/unpin the floating pane.

Dropping in to say this would be really cool! Has any progress been made on this front?
