- blueblob 13y agoI switched because it has vertical and horizontal splitting (although I think screen has this too now) and because my vim colorscheme looked different in a normal vte than it did in screen. Screen seemed to have problems handling transparency. The status line in tmux is slightly easier to deal with. adding: unbind C-b set -g prefix C-a to your .tmux.conf makes most keybindings the same.
