So it is mosh, but much better? I'll try it.

The PPA doesn't work. The compilation instructions fail.

  Compilation works for me: https://asciinema.org/a/LkPYDdWkGgFybny8ChqOLQA8e https://asciinema.org/a/LkPYDdWkGgFybny8ChqOLQA8e What problems are you encountering? It might be worth opening a GitHub issue.

    It is not clear from the error that you were missing libsodium. I don't remember what was my error anyway, I'll try again later. But I can't even find libsodium on my apt.

      Agreed, it wasn't terribly clear. I essentially just guessed based on the mention of "sodium_LIBRARY_RELEASE". What OS are you running?

  Hey, please file an issue on github: https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTCP/issues https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTCP/issues You may be running a distro that doesn't have libsodium (such as ubuntu 14). In this case you have to grab libsodium manually and build et from source.

To me this seems like Mosh, but worse. I think that each project's approach has different strengths. For me, the best part of Mosh is the intelligent, asynchronous handling of type-ahead. Mosh feels really snappy, even over poor connections. I'm not bothered by needing to run Tmux on the remote for scrollback; I do that anyways, and I have no need for this fancy "control center" mode. My big frustration with both Mosh and ET is that neither expose a data communication channel along side the PTY. I use SSH for port forwarding, Tmux paste buffer sync, file transfer, and SSH agent forwarding. Without those features, I'll always need to use SSH/Autossh along side these tools for my other SSH use cases.

  I've been using tmux for years and I have no idea what "control center mode" even means :D

    It gives you native scrolling / tabs in iTerm2 which for me was a huge plus. I hated using the keyboard for copy and paste in TMux. That's just a personal preference though.
