0:00Hash-hash is rysh mode -- the control panel for your whole workspace.

0:03Start rysh, then double-Escape until the prompt shows hash-hash. System commands inject their output right into the active pane.

0:09Help lists every system command -- panes, tabs, lanes, sharing, agents, and more.

0:18Try one: pane info reports the active pane's details, all without leaving the keyboard.

0:28One caution: a line starting with hash-hash-greater-than is not a command. Those are pipeline events, forwarded straight to NATS instead of being run.

0:38Rysh mode is how you drive the multiplexer itself.

Key takeaway
Rysh mode runs ## system commands to drive the multiplexer, while ##> lines are pipeline events instead.
