I wrote a book on tmux, if you are interested in getting into the shell more: https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read (free to read online) While it may not be the most important, if you've been meaning to up your terminal game and want a bit more dexterity when shuffling between panes, tmux and vim are a good area to invest time in [1] Personality theories: Textbooks in this area. Affordable on Amazon if you get them used, some are also on kindle but pricey. An Introduction to Theories of Personality: 7th Edition by Robert B. Ewen is so good. They can be used as sampler to springboard into areas of psychology you like. The material in this space - normally in paper books - is fantastic. It's totally normal to read through material from 50-70+ years ago. [1] Not the configuration part, though. That's where the timesink is. Try to be basic as possible with vim configs. `vimtutor` is nice to play with.

I’ve yet to find a better workflow than tmux + vim + other terminal tools. The work I put into it has paid off a thousand times. I’d really like the whole os gui to work like tmux.

  Yeah me too, I've been using tmux + vim + shell for 10-15 years and still going strong. Tiling window managers like i3 are supposed to make the whole OS work like tmux. I tried i3 and a few others once but somehow never got into them. I'm not sure why but maybe it's worth another try. On the other hand I think there are 10% of tasks that are just easier to do with a mouse. https://i3wm.org/ https://i3wm.org/ I think those window managers are much easier to use with a keyboard, but harder to use with a mouse, which isn't always a win. But yeah I think doing 90% of my programming tasks with the keyboard is reasonable; it doesn't need to be 100%.
