tmux is a fantastic tool, but it tends to intimidate naive users.
My way of reassuring them is telling that they only need to remember one key shortcut, namely Ctrl+B at once followed by "?" to get to the help screen.
I can't say a lot of people around me end up using it, but must of them just don't need it that badly.
- noman-land 4y agoI ended up learning tmux out of necessity because I kept getting my processes killed when getting disconnected from ssh sessions. I don't know if I'd have the patience to stick with it otherwise. Now I just use it as my window manager in terminal even though I'm rarely sshing these days. I love it. Combined with tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum, which will persist sessions across restarts, and it's a total joy.
