What workflow involves opening hundreds of shells every day? Like, I've got a half dozen shells open at any given time, and sometimes I gotta refresh or reboot, but even on my worst day in looking at two dozen.
How do you get to hundreds?
- f311a 9mo agoTemporary splits to run code close to the editor, tmux popups (they open lazygit or file manager on top of the current tab). Debug runs, where I want to preserve their output for some time, so I keep them in separate tabs.
- WhyNotHugo 9mo agoI use a lot of short-lived terminals. I have zsh+foot configured so that ctrl+shift+n opens a new terminal with the same current directory, so when using Vim, that's as fast as putting Vim in background, but I can tile both windows easily. I never have more than a one or two dozen terminals at a time, but I definitely open hundred of short-lived ones.
- napkinartist 9mo agoWhy? You've said you do but not why you do? Why not leave a terminal open?
- nemetroid 9mo agoWhy would I leave it open once I'm done with the task for which I opened the terminal?
