Why not just keep your key bindings compatible with screen? You can't stay with legacy systems forever.

Why not just keep your key bindings compatible with screen? You can't stay with legacy systems forever.
- res0nat0r 13y agoThere really isn't anything 'legacy' with screen. I've been using it for 20 years daily. I really have no reason to switch to tmux because I really can't see anything screen doesn't already offer me. Vertical splits were patched in and added a long time ago, screen is usually installed by default, so I know it is there on systems where I'm not allowed to install packages. I can share screen sessions with co-workers, split windows etc.
- pyre 13y ago> Vertical splits were patched in and added a long time ago IIRC, that patch floated around for a while. The other thing that tmux brings to the table is better scripting support than screen + things like tmuxinator (for me at least).
