It isn't too clear what is going on, but what I've really wanted is Gnome-Terminal integrated with ssh+screen/tmux in such a way that I never need to know or care about how to use screen/tmux. Each "window" should just be a tab in gnome terminal with scrollback and menu commands behaving as appropriate. (I think something like this is what is described but I don't Mac.) I do use Byobu which makes things a little easier. Of course you can argue that I should learn the ins and outs of configuring, magic keystrokes and using screen/tmux but I'd much rather use my brain for the other stuff (the actual work I'm doing). It should be possible to use something without having to know keystrokes and config files, discovering them from menus. Then when you do something often enough you can start using shortcuts and customization. In other words combine a graphical terminal emulator and screen/tmux so that it is highly useful to perpetual intermediates: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2004/10/defending-perpetual-intermediacy.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2004/10/defending-perpetual...
