For remote SSH, I like to use an .ssh/config setting for the remote host and automatically start a remote tmux. Saved my work a few times from spotty connections from my laptop tethered to my phone. Something like this: Host t-sdf HostName sdf.org User idatum RemoteCommand tmux new -A -s mylaptop RequestTTY yes Then log in with ssh t-sdf and tmux is happily running a session named "mylaptop". Connecting again gets you back to the same tmux session. I use tmux daily and I haven't found a reason to switch.
