I personally use tmux because it's "one window" and it is supported on every environment I can think of.
- tambourine_man 9y agoBig con for me: scrolling sucks. Even o latest 2.x, which is indeed better, but still light years away from native.
- _ix 9y agoWhen you say scrolling, do you mean with something other than a keyboard? I thought this is something I wanted, but when I finally got around to getting mouse inputs working the way I thought they should, I realized that mousing around a terminal is kind of weird. Granted, I still use my mouse for copy/pasta operations, but I hope to eventually break that habit in time. What's your workflow with tmux like?
- tambourine_man 9y agoNowadays, it's basically a simple way to let process running after existing the shell and reattaching later, for me. But I had much greater ambitions in the past which I've given up mostly due to scrolling, clearing scrollback inserting a bunch of whitespace instead of actually clearing, etc. I scroll with the mouse a lot, it's more tolerable with the keyboard, but it's still not as good as native interaction. It also messes with the colors sometimes. For some reason, screen doesn't.
