I've been using tmux for a while. What I like most is the copy mode and its scriptability. Copy mode allows you to select and copy text using vi or emacs ( whatever you choose ) key bindings. This way, you can go completely mouse free in the terminal. This is also present in screen. Then scriptability: tmux exposes lots of commands so you can interact with it from a script. There are quite a few plugins out there. https://github.com/tmux-plugins/ https://github.com/tmux-plugins/ My personal favourites: - https://github.com/morantron/tmux-fingers/ https://github.com/morantron/tmux-fingers/ copy pasting using vimium-like hints, so you don't even have to enter copy mode ( this one I did it myself </shameless-plug> ) - https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator/ https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator/ predefined user sessions. Solves repetitively opening the same services/commands every time you start a coding session.
