Tmux has the ability to move a tab to a new tmux session. Also, on X, there’s things like https://tools.suckless.org/tabbed/ https://tools.suckless.org/tabbed/ which can produce tabbed layouts of arbitrary applications.

I am not happy with the user experience I get when running multiple tmux sessions. My personal limit is one tmux session per host. Tabbed looks cool, but I don’t see any online documentation.

  Interesting! I usually have tmux in every terminal. I like that it keeps the session around even if I do something dumb like accidentally close my terminal. It is cool that the ecosystem is flexible enough to fit our basically opposite preferences.

    My terminal will stop me from closing the terminal if there’s a program running. I’ve also encountered a few problems with tmux from time to time—certain shortcuts stop working in weird, hard-to-diagnose ways, if a program is being run through tmux, or through some combination of ssh + tmux.

      Depending on what terminal you use, this is likely to be related to the remote host missing the right termcap files and therefore there's no way for tmux to know how to do certain things. One of the nice things about xterm is this basically never happens.

      One of my systems has that confirmation dialogue enabled, it is pretty annoying IMO, I don’t want to have to reach for my mouse just to close a terminal. (I’ll disable it at some point, it is a system that I mostly just remote in to anyway, so it isn’t a daily annoyance). There’s a shortcut in Vim that my tmux config gets in the way of. Ctrl-a, increment a number. This is a weird shortcut to me, though, actually I’m happy tmux over-writes it!

  Tabbed has a manpage you can check out online: https://manpages.org/tabbed https://manpages.org/tabbed

I've really wanted to make that a mouse based drag and drop experience in the session tree view menu. It's very confusing and cumbersome right now. That's 100% on me to do that deep in the code as a significant patch. I know this. Just so lazy
