I'm living life in the virtual terminal, no graphical session, although the framebuffer does render graphics.
From tmux to kitty ~ terminal workflows
cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/18481126
I've recently stopped using tmux in favour of relying fully kitty's built-in windows and tabs, and I'm a fan.
The real killer app for me was the "pass_keys" plugin that allows you to navigate vim and kitty splits all with the same keys. I think there are plugins that allow you to do the same between vim<>tmux<>kitty as well, so it's not like you would need to drop tmux to take advantage of it.
Anyway, so that's been a big shift in my daily workflow. I've been using tmux for well over a decade, and GNU screen before that (I was never able to train myself away from the
C-aprefix.The one thing I miss a lot is being able to quickly detach and re-attach to existing sessions. Especially when doing some work over an ssh connection. But then I can always just shove the terminal into scratch space, or another i3 workspace.
This isn't me

This isn't me trying to sell anyone on ditching tmux. I love tmux, and if it works for y
Any neat tmux configurations out there?
Quick background for anyone who doesn't use tmux or screen: both are utilities that run in terminal that provide a bunch of nifty functionality. The big ones are:
- The ability to disconnect from a remote host and reconnect via software like ssh or mosh, leaving the remote programs running. This also ensures that connection loss doesn't kill off remote programs, making it -- in my opinion, at any rate -- pretty essential for
ssh, thoughmoshhas more-limited built-in functionality. - The ability to have multiple virtual terminals in one. There are a bunch of ways to do this (the Linux kernel has multiple ttys, X11 window managers or Wayland compositors can provide virtual desktops with different graphical virtual terminal programs running on each, and some virtual terminal programs provide a way to run multiple virtual terminals, usual
