Tmux I adopt wen I watch a hardcore python expert conference. +Vim
I use screen to connect with serial port to CISCO, RPI, etc -
bahua129157yI used screen in the early 2000s to use bitchx and later irssi/centericq, but now I use tmux heavily.
-
Tmux as the many above has said. Combined with vim and weechat it really is a nice setup
-
github95687yTmux.
But, whenever I need to show off some hacky terminal to my friends or cousins for fun, I will use `byobu hollywood` -
rjedlin4517yMy use case might be different but I tend to not use multiplexers and instead use emacs for development work.
-
I usually just use the tabs inside the urxvt terminal, because I don't really need splitscreen and don't use ssh all that much.
-
I use tmux when not using i3. I really prefer to create splits with i3 since I can open a terminal or pretty much any other program in that space.
Also, although it has improved a lot in recent versions, copying and pasting sucks in tmux. Even with plugins it always feels overly complicated.
So I use i3 whenever I can, and tmux in places where I'm forced to use other DEs (i.e. at work) -
bioDan61697y@linuxxx more like describing the process of streaming all input and output data through a single stream (like a terminal)
Terminator qualifies i thunk.. But i dont really know much about terminator, is it a complete shell like cshell, or bash? If it is then i guess that it does qualify. -
You have reminded me that I never actually gave tmux a try and it was really fun to play with, but I personally don't really see any use in that, so I use screen but really just for the detaching.
-
Also just discovered through some other ranter; "hyper terminal", which supports all this tmux "tiling" natively
-
edensg7797ytmux, always. I have it integrated with iTerm, so I can open new sessions as native tabs or windows, plus I get sessions and persistence and all that.
