No windows support but I wonder if this can run in Ubuntu on Windows 10.

Woah. I've never seen an elevator without a phone. Like maybe in a developing country but in the UK that seriously isn't in the building code?

Mosh is great, but I kind of stopped using it once I discovered Tmux so I could resume a session if the connection dropped. It's not that Mosh does anything wrong , but SSH has more features, and is supported by basically everything ever. Consequently, I stick with old-school SSH.

I occasionally use it when I have spotty internet connection, since it allows me to type commands or edit files with no latency. I still rely on tmux/screen for cases when I need to re-connect to a dropped connection.

Termux[0], the best Android terminal emulator (in my humble opinion), recently had mosh added to its' package repository. I currently use it and it's very nice. It makes me long for a better handheld though (my 4" Moto G screen is difficult to type on, even with Hacker's Keyboard). I can have tmux sessions running on servers with say, an irc client running, mosh in, chat away for a bit, turn it off, the irc client co…

Have you tried JuiceSSH by any chance? Curious how the two compare.

I haven't tried JuiceSSH, I use CM and only have F-Droid installed (not play store). Most of the reason I use termux is to get away from proprietary apps (I can run all free software on a server and SSH into that).

Sorry that I couldn't be of more help!

I'm not sure what exactly what does it in my https://github.com/kaihendry/dotfiles/blob/master/.ssh/confi... but my ssh sessions are remarkably reliable across spotty 3G connections in Malaysia in a bus.

Love mosh, but having no scrollback is a pain. I can hack a solution by using screen on top of mosh. They say that version 1.3 will add support for scrollback.

I use mosh with tmux daily. Scrollback buffer is stored inside tmux instead of through mosh. Works great.

I earlier tried running screen on top of mosh. But it did't worked for me. Can you tell how you exactly did it?

You run screen on the server side. mosh in, then screen. Works just fine.
