Out of curiosity, would you still use terminator/iterm if you used tmux in every shell?
I understand term* provides some additional functions, but would you still consider it worthwhile?
- rocqua 10y agoI personally would, because learning less tools is great. I've had some problem applying this principle when using tmux locally on a system with i3. You kinda need to be consistent in which of the 2 you use to create new shell windows.
- bostand 10y agoFunny you mention that. I tried i3 last year but quickly realized I already have the good parts in tmux. I am now trying to simplify my workflow by only using tmux and emacs. It's minimal and works on almost any system I log into.
- hyperhopper 10y agoIsn't the emacs philosophy to never leave emacs? Doesn't using tmux go against that? Or do you run tmux inside of emacs? I use spacemacs and coming from vim, its taking some getting used to but I'm still always trying to do more things in emacs and not switch to my terminal workspace.
- bostand 10y agoYeah, but I don't like the emacs terminal. I feel spacemacs is just a vim clone with really bad cpu and ram utilization. If I am going that road, why not use an ide like eclipse or visual studio instead?
- rocqua 10y agoIf chrome ran within tmux, that would totally be my approach. Sadly, there remain GUI's that are better than TUI's (or rather: sadly tmux can only multiplex TUIs).
- bigtunacan 10y agoYes. I use both myself. I usually use multiple terminal panes and then have a separate tmux session running in each long lived pane.
