The new 3.8 version came with extensive improvements to floating panes.

Floating panes are a new feature and said to replace the native popup windows as of version 3.9.

As the author of the tmux-tpad plugin, my workflows are heavily relying on popups. There is a clear use case for both floating windows and popups, but they are not interchangeable.

Partly posting this to let you all know about this pretty cool new feature, but also to hear what you would use this for. I would be bummed to see the popups be replaced with floating windows, the way it's currently implemented.
