Tmux is amazing, my only request is there be an option to name panes (with the names showing perpetually on top or bottom of the pane). Every time I ssh into an ec2 instance I can't remember what logs are showing in each pane!

It can show the application-set pane title (`#{pane_title}`, also settable with `selectp -T`) or anything else really. There are no builtin pane names but if you are running tmux 3.0a or later you can just set a pane user option like `set -p @myname name1` then use it in `pane-border-format` with `#{@myname}`.
