Post Description

Mouse Tester combines a visual button map (left/right/middle/side buttons) with targeted diagnostics for two of the most common real-world issues: unintended double-clicks and scroll wheel jumping/direction problems. It’s designed to be fast, simple, and instantly understandable—so users can confirm what’s happening within seconds.

Visual state tracking for AI agents in tmux

If you run multiple LLM sessions in tmux, this stops the annoying habit of constantly switching panes by surfacing state through pane borders, window-title colors and status-bar icons. It hooks into Claude Code and Codex lifecycle events (or accepts calls to agent-state.sh), offers a one-command installer, a Knight Rider running animation, and a process-detection fallback — small, clever tmux trickery that actually improves day-to-day ergonomics for its niche.
