Personally, I really like to be able to drag the splits between terminals, use my scroll wheel, and click between tabs. Maybe these things can be enabled in tmux somehow? I know on a mac tmux/iTerm can do these things, but I'm on linux.
setw -g mode-mouse on setw -g mouse-select-window on setw -g mouse-select-pane on setw -g mouse-resize-pane on
i cannot force this to work on urxvt :/

Personally I've moved from tmux to a tiling window manager with urxvtd. Less fiddly day-to-day and doesn't get locked up and horrible. Tabbing and whatnot are something the WM (in my case, i3) handle far better than a specific program.
Agreed. Multiplexing panes and tabs should be the responsibility of the WM, not the terminal itself.
not when you're working via ssh

If you're just using Tmux as a way to split/tab your terminals you're missing out on a ton of its functionality. For example it also allows you to detach/reattach your running session, which is invaluable if you're working remotely, and especially if you have a flaky connection. I've used it in several instances where there is more than one person handling DB upgrades and the like. You can have several panes/tabs ope…
Yeah, tmux remotely is great, but for terminals on the desktop I don't really feel that it's that useful.
locally, I find the tmux buffer system (just like in vim) to be very useful for pasting text around the place, also, the newer versions have :choose-tree, which is well worth a look, using ^a s gives you a list of open sessions, from which you can choose what you were working on, and if you give your sessions sensible names (based on the starting directory for example) then you can switch between projects/jobs incredibly easily..
also, running tmux locally has the advantage that if you need to leave the office or go somewhere, you can still reattach to your work machine and pick up from where you left off.. so, in a sense, everything is remote

#126Really happy the Enlightenment project is still making cool stuff.
Remember completely wiping my computer as a teenager trying to get Enlightenment running on it. After a good 12 hours or so I got booted into it… then I learned what the term "winmodem" meant

I had theefl-trunk installed before, but ppa-purge didn't remove everything, i suppose. Went through libe* libraries and purged whatever came from e17. Installed again.. working now, woohooo!
I never heard of ppa-purge before. Thanks for playing! :)
I'm wondering.. when i hit ctrl-shift-t it seems to open a new terminal? Atleast i get a new prompt.. but no way to switch?

When I first saw them I thought transparent terminal windows were the coolest thing. Then I tried to use one... So, as other commenters have pointed out, using blur and/or 80% opacity helps with this. One thing I haven't seen (with this terminal or any other) is to actually outline each character in black (assuming white on black color scheme). That would give some much needed contrast, while still allowing areas wit…
Eterm does this. It does help, but it is kind of ugly.
I just tried this and I wasn't wowed by the effect. Back to a solid black background for me...

#130A warning: apparently tycat will bypass pulseaudio sound settings and play things at the loudest possible volume. Make sure your /hardware/ volume controls are set sufficiently low before testing...
Also, it doesn't remember volume settings, so if you Ctrl-L to clear the screen and then scroll up to the audio element in the scrollback buffer, it will start playing at full volume again x_x
