How is it less capable?
- remram 2y agoYou can't attach the same windows in multiple locations with different layouts. With screen, I can have windows 0 and 1 in a vertical split on my laptop, and windows 0 and 3 in a horizontal split on my desktop. With tmux, you attach to a session and it has the same layout everywhere. You can have attach different servers or different sessions but you can't even show different windows in the same session, let alone have different layouts. If my laptop shows window 1 containing 2 panes, my desktop can only show window 1, and it will contain 2 panes. Changing the layout or the active window will change it everywhere.
- kennysoona 2y agoInteresting, I've never tried to work like that so haven't experienced the difference. Thank you for answering.
