no tabs !! REALLY !? You care to explain how awesome it is?

  I never understood why people want their terminal emulators to have tabs. Screen/tmux do it so much better...

    This. Clicking? No. Alt+Shift+Number? No. Good old-fashioned Ctrl-a ".

      Command-left, command-right.

    What are the main advantages of screen/tmux in comparison with simple terminal tabs?
    • burgerbrain 15y ago
      For starters, detaching.

      Mainly the detach/attach facility. I can open it from ssh, without even closing the session in the terminal. They also provide split window facilities, tmux even more so.

      My tabs and state are on the REMOTE end of my connection. I never lose it. Copy and paste is easy, no rat.
