People say tmux is more powerful. Whatever that means?
Screen seems to cover all my needs and it learning it is easy. I came for the tabs (windows), sessions, copy and paste - but the must have for everyone is the scrollback buffer. You need it! Especially since we can scroll one the plain terminal.
- mhitza 2y ago> People say tmux is more powerful. Whatever that means? I very rarely use screen/tmux nowadays, but as I recall tmux is a better fit for someone who wants to script their interaction. It makes it easy to send keys to other panes/windows in the session, and also to capture the content from other existing panes/windows.
- ho_schi 2y agoThanks. I don’t need that features but I see the use case for others.
- umbra07 2y agoIt doesn't seem like screen has plugin support - while tmux has a fairly large plugin ecosystem.
