You can ssh into a system and use tmux. Then you can detach from the session and when you come back a week later your tmux session is still there and you can continue with no friction.
Also i find it interesting that you said you don't see its value and then continued to explain its value. For me it's definitely more common to work with systems/servers without a DE and WM. It's just better to handle this problem at that level instead of at the terminal level because then your shell setup becomes terminal and platform agnostic. With mouse support turned on tmux feels almost like a WM in the shell, which is amazing.
- ladberg 5y agoI’m a huge fan of `tmux -CC` for stuff like this!
- jgtrosh 5y agoI didn't know about this. For others, it's called tmux control mode, and integrates tmux within a terminal emulator for things like split panes and tabs. It requires terminal emulator support. Here's some documentation: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Control-Mode https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Control-Mode
- cassianoleal 5y agoAre there any Linux terminal emulators that implement this? So far the only I've encountered is macOS's iTerm 2 and it's brilliant but mac-only.
