Tmux does suck pretty bad though?

It conflicts with the clipboard and a bunch of hotkeys, and configuring it never works because they have breaking change in how their config file works ever 6months or so.

These days I only use it to launch a long running job in ssh to detach the session it's on and leave.



That’s more or less what I use it for — keeping sessions alive. I don’t use 90% of the features. vim does splits, and there’s ctrl-Z to background it and get a shell.

I know I could get more out of tmux but haven’t really needed to. I use it with the default config. I have learned from experience that the less I try to customize my environment the less non-billable time I waste trying to get that working and maintaining it.
