A Quick and Easy Guide to Tmux (2015)
I used to enjoy Tmux, then noticed I didn't need its core persistence/session feature; I mostly used it for windowing & tiling, which are okay but come with <i>lots</i> of warts you need to avoid, and before you know it your tmux.conf is 150 lines of stuff copy-pastaed from StackOverflow and the Arch wiki, mouse & copying keep being janky, and you're in for long sessions of configuration whack-a-mole where each fix somewhere breaks something somewhere else. Also, the client/server architecture is great if you need it, but for everyday development I don't, so I'd rather avoid the extra layer.<p>Not blaming the authors/maintainers at all, they're responsive and Tmux is extremely reliable. But in the end, it feels like they're battling to implement features at the wrong layer, and UX suffers.<p>In the end, I realized I just wanted a good terminal emulator that is {fast, featureful, scriptable, keyboard-friendly}.<p>If that sounds familiar, give Kitty a try: <a href="https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/" rel="nofollow">https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/</a> (and run <a href="https://fishshell.com/" rel="nofollow">https://fishshell.com/</a> in it, but that's another discussion :)
