For working on remote machines, I need 3 things:
* show multiple terminals on screen. The best solution is to use a tiling window manager. Both MacOS and Windows have limited windows tiling capabilities.
* run long term TUI applications (like editors). The best solution is mosh.
* run long term CLI applications (like shells). The best solution is dtach.
tmux helps all 3, but not particular good at either.
- slim 3y agoit's good at the first point. if you use a tiling wm you are not multiplexing the remote connection, or am I missing something?
- messe 3y ago> tmux helps all 3, but not particular good at either. iTerm2 on macOS has some nice tmux integration[1]. Basically, you run a tmux session (using tmux -CC), but the actual window management on the client side is handled by iTerm2. This works pretty nicely with the tiling WM (Amethyst[2]) I use on macOS. If anybody is aware of Wayland compositors that integrate similarly, please let me know. I'd love to be able to do the same on my linux machines.
