If you adapt using tmux then you are free to pick whatever terminal you want because tabs / split panes are done very well in tmux.
For example I tried nearly every terminal on Windows and ultimately use wsltty because tmux offers nearly instant tabs and split panes, buffer searching and everything else you could want in a terminal.
Here's a whole write up on the comparisons: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/conemu-vs-hyper-vs-terminus-vs-mobaxterm-terminator-vs-ubuntu-wsl https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/conemu-vs-hyper-vs-terminus-v...
- neilsimp1 8y agoPerhaps. I love tmux for multiple terminals in one SSH connection, but I'm a big fan of tabbed browsing, tabbed file explorers, etc., so having tabs in my terminal just makes sense. I could probably get used to tmux handling tabs and split panes all the time.
- nickjj 8y agoYeah a terminal tab maps 1:1 with a tmux window. Same type of feature. You can also use the mouse and / or keyboard to navigate between everything.
- leppr 8y agoOnly downside is you can't (easily) map Ctrl+Tab to switch between tmux Windows. Doesn't matter much if you spend your life in the terminal, but for occasional users consistency between applications is important.
- deskamess 8y agoWhat do you use/recommend for tabbed file explorer?
- neilsimp1 8y agoI mean I use Dolphin because I'm a KDE user, but I believe it's possible in Windows with the Set UI [0]. There are third party Windows file explorers but I don't have any experience with them.

- nickjj 8y agoIf you don't mind the command line with WSL there's ranger. It has tabs (but you also have access to tmux too if you use it).
