Terminology – a new terminal emulator

I used to care a lot about tabs and pane splitting in the terminal emulator. Then I discovered terminal multiplexers: screen, then tmux. Now I don't want those features in the terminal emulator anymore, as they overlap and even conflict with the terminal multiplexer.

Unfortunately, terminology seems to be broken for me :( [buster@Fry➔ ~] terminology terminology: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libelementary.so.1: undefined symbol: ECORE_X_ATOM_E_ILLUME_ACCESS_ACTION_ACTIVATE

You might get this error when your EFL stack needs upgrading. Did you use the PPA? What version of Ubuntu are you on? For me, I wasn't able to finish apt-get upgrade without uninstalling an old libefl and all of its dependencies (some libraries that have been since merged into libefl I think), then installing again. Try doing `apt-get dist-upgrade`

I still like tabs. I'm often logged into multiple remote machines where, for me, a terminal emulator's tab represents a unique SSH connection and that tab then has tmux running on the remote machine. Otherwise, I'd be running tmux on my local machine, then want to run tmux on a remote machine, and nesting terminal multiplexers is not good.
