Could you build this?
Partial Creating a macOS tiling window manager with tmux/Zellij keybindings requires deep interaction with macOS Accessibility and CoreGraphics APIs.
What it would actually take: A real version requires a native Swift or Objective-C macOS application utilizing the undocumented or fragile macOS Accessibility API (AXUIElement) and SkyLight/CoreGraphics APIs to intercept global keybindings, manage window hierarchies, and manipulate non-native application frames smoothly. It requires deep knowledge of macOS system internals, window server behaviors, and privilege management.
