I started using cmux a month ago and it had made my life a lot easier. Finally I have a pane with all my projects open all the time, I can switch between them, have multiple terminals for each one. What do you mean by remote terminals?

my plan is to eventually move my entire workflow to a remote workmachine over ssh. with kernal, I can automate all my smoketests entirely from a headless machine rendering my laptop overkill to run agentic workflows. I'd rather be using it to watch movies, learn new stuff or hand code in my downtime. if your workflow requires cmux, you're stuck running your agents on your local machine. To be clear, That doesn't make cmux bad. if you WANT to do everythign on your mac, cmux is fantastic. its just not designed with the remote ssh control use case in mind.

  I'm one of the creators of cmux. I'm moving a lot of my own dev work to Mac Minis, so I'm starting to feel quite a lot of the pain you mentioned... will try to make this better!

    please do and let me know ! quick story fast, I'm working a loooot remotely. I'm using https://github.com/sanchxt/yoop https://github.com/sanchxt/yoop to synchronize my keyboard. Since I'm using moonlight it's blazing fast. But when I work in the train I'm back to ssh. My quick tip would be to: build your own tools, build them once, use them forever. and rmux is exactly made for that, it's prefect for TUIs over ssh and low connection that needs to stay alive even if you get disconnected

  Exactly, the whole point of having a laptop is that you can close it at some point. Once you move to these newfangled workflows it is all gone. That is why I have been slow on uptake with all these new apps they are releasing like Codex GUI and Claude GUI and all that stuff. I like that work continues when I close my laptop, but also I like that it continues on my hardware, not somewhere in the cloud being a supply chain attacked by who knows what.
