Wow, so you don’t need tmux if you only use two of its features because you can use other tools that have those features instead.

One of my primary use cases isn’t covered by this article and that’s a consistent user experience from one terminal emulator to another. I have personal and work devices, and I don’t have control of what terminal emulators I can use on the work device, so tmux is the only way I can work with consistent keybinds and a consistent experience across all terminal emulators with nothing but a single git clone of my dotfiles. Yes I get stuck behind in features but I kind of couldn’t care less about terminal notifications or title renaming (the examples used in the post). I’m always in the terminal, I don’t need notified to come back to a terminal I’m already using.

If I’m wrong please tell me but it’s worked for me for years without too many issues across tons of terminal emulators from iTerm to gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal to windows terminal.

tmux is well worth trying over screen.

Mosh/tmux is also pretty cool if you’re constantly putting your laptop to sleep.

I’m lazy so I just use byobu
