spinner preview

Pick the animation for the working indicator. Each card is a mock of the sidebar: the spinner runs between a ◆ waiting and a ✓ done row so you can judge centering and weight in context. All sets are width-1 glyphs — emoji sets are width-2 and would break the sidebar's column math. Your browser's monospace font differs from your terminal font: shortlist here, confirm in the terminal (snippet below).

Interval

Use your pick

Copy a card's frames and set them in the layout's plugin config — each character is one animation frame (the default is dots-dense):

plugin location="file:~/.config/zellij/plugins/zellij-vtabs.wasm" {
    spinner "⣾⣽⣻⢿⡿⣟⣯⣷"
}

Layout config is read at plugin load, so start a fresh session to see it.

To check a set in your real terminal font first (Ctrl+C to stop):

frames='⣾⣽⣻⢿⡿⣟⣯⣷'; while true; do
  for c in ${(s::)frames}; do printf '\r  \033[36m%s\033[0m working…' "$c"; sleep 0.15; done
done
