#375 and #377, as well as your own: #368.

Would be feature requests in this territory.

@SaintFenix,
Thanks for the suggestions! I would say #368 doesn't fit here though,
we already have the action for it SwitchToMode: Locked,
but we don't have the possibility of configuring zellij to start in the locked mode yet,

[SaintFenix]

@a-kenji I understand now, I'll keep with that.

I've made another one here for tmux compatibility: #398

Actions seem to be well understood now, so closing this.
