What possible reason can there be?
- jazzyjackson 7y agoMaybe they mean tmux is not installed on the remote machine but screen is, so screen is inside the ssh session, inside the tmux session
- powersnail 7y agoMaybe for avoiding shortcut clashing.
- Crespyl 7y agoI've had nested tmux sessions before. Usually I'll have a couple tabs on my local device, and then may want to ssh to a remote server and interact with a persistent tmux session there. I usually make a point of setting different prefix keys in that case though.
- rocqua 7y agoI often run tmux in ssh in tmux. The outer tmux is just for my local terminals. The inner tmux is mostly so I can reattach later. Though it is also nice to easily get two shells on the remote machine side by side.
