This is awesome.

  They have similarities, but awesome is a graphical tiling window manager, whereas tmux is only for terminal sessions. /s

    I see what you did there. ;-)

  This is awesome! I've been using tmux for years and didn't even know there were plugins.

    Count me in that list! This is fantastic, and is likely to help push me over the edge to using tmux by default on my local workstation.

Been using it for a while now. Here is my plugin list: set -g @tpm_plugins ' \ tmux-plugins/tpm \ tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible \ tmux-plugins/tmux-open \ tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect \ tmux-plugins/tmux-pain-control \ tmux-plugins/tmux-battery \ tmux-plugins/tmux-online-status \

Meh, bash... I'll try and see if it's possible to do it 100% POSIX to port to *BSD without the hassle of installing bash.

Off topic: How do most people on HN use tmux? I was using it for a while but then realised I never used it over SSH and I rarely disconnected from sessions and opened them again. Are there other people in that camp?

  You are a brave man. What if you run a long/important task on the server and you lose the connection (A/C in the building going away, Internet connection outage, etc...)?
  - TomAnthony 11y ago
    I don't think I was clear, sorry. I meant I rarely use it on remote servers, I rarely have the need for that process. I only have a need to do dev locally and was using tmux on my local machine. I know several other devs who only use tmux in this fashion. I know many people use it when they are on a remote machine via ssh - what are the usual activities that require someone to be ssh'ed in doing complex tasks directly on a remote machine?

      The most common thing that comes to mind is altering huge database tables. You may need from minutes to hours to perform heavy SQL operations and if you run your commands from a client you want it to survive the ssh session, no matter what. Another example is the import/export of large quantities of data (e.g. to clone/move a machine) or perform a long running task (e.g. you found a better way to compress images and want to run it once on every image). Of course these are not everyday tasks, but once in a while they may be required. That said, if you connect via ssh to a server you are rarely happy to "lose" whatever task you have run, there aren't major drawbacks in using screen/tmux everytime you connect to a remote server.

      Where I work, most of our development (includes building, testing and packaging) is done on remote machines to which we ssh to. Few people prefer gui ide's so most ssh and then run vim or emacs. Having tmux on the server hub is pretty convenient. Especially nice if you want to run a set of tests over night.
