I basically use tmux as my window manager. I only typically open two programs: a browser, and a terminal. Both are always in full-screen mode.
It makes things nice and simple. No matter if I'm working on a laptop or a desktop, all my terminal windows end up in the same place and have the same settings. It's great!
- a3n 10y agoYou and I have almost exactly the same setup. I also usually only have a browser and terminal/tmux running. If I'm reading the general web then I max the browser (which also maxes the terminal, since I'm running awesome-wm tiling window manager). If I'm writing code or anything else terminal-focused, then they're unmaxed, side by side.
- hyperhopper 10y agoIf you are already going that far, why not just switch to a tiling window manager?
- colordrops 10y agoThey are not mutually exclusive. I use xmonad, tmux, and vim together. Tmux adds some niceties on top of xmonad like shared keybinds with vim making moving across vim panes and terminals seamless. Also, I can jump on my macbook and login to my desktop using mosh and re-attach to the tmux session and continue working where I left off.
- CaptSpify 10y agoI do, but... If I'm on my laptop, then switch to my desktop, a twm doesn't save my sessions. Tmux on a remote machine does.
- XtalJ 10y agoMe too, and it's great and even works on Windows with Babun :-) If I use tmux as window manager, I don't have the problem with installing fluxbox etc. on Windows :-)
- baby 10y agoSame setup with a bunch of pdf open as well. Any idea how I could stop having so many papers open? (I'm on macOS)
