> falling back to screen

So you're saying you're a masochist

I’ve used screen for 25 years. What am I missing without tmux?

  • mainly sessions, i think, and maybe scripability. sessions are groups of windows. i have one session per project or work mode. (one for email and connecting to remote machines, one for writing stuff, one for managing my hobbies, one for dev work...)

    • Screen has sessions. You can name them, and choose which session to resume when you reconnect.

      I use tmux now because it’s supposed to be cool but secretly like gp I also wonder what the actual difference is , besides a different default leader key. Oh and killer iterm2 integration.
