I'm still a die-hard (and vertical-split-patched) screen user, but it seems tmux is the only suggested alternative. The combination of the more orthogonal dvtm[1] (for window management) and dtach[2] (for screen's killer feature: detaching) is flexible and compelling and sadly doesn't seem to have been mentioned here. I currently use dvtm to split terminals and connect to multiple screen sessions in a single window. The downside of dvtm is it takes the dwm[3] approach of using #defines rather than configuration files. 1. http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/dvtm/ http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/dvtm/ 2. http://dtach.sourceforge.net/ http://dtach.sourceforge.net/ 3. http://dwm.suckless.org/ http://dwm.suckless.org/
