One thing that I really want is the ability to set different background colors for panes and windows. Sadly, it is a feature of a terminal app, not tmux. One can only imagine tmux would integrate tightly with various terminal applications to accomplish that.

You could achieve the same thing with shell scripts, but one of teamocil’s advantages is that it gives you the simplicity of YAML to build complex layouts.
"simplicity of YAML" Spoken like someone who's never actually looked into how complex YAML can be.
I don't see how someone could possibly write a tool like this without being aware of YAMLs potential complexity.
Well, I suppose it's possible, but it seems extremely unlikely.

#133Does anyone know where to find a good introduction to tmux? I attempted to start using it a couple of weekends ago but wasn't able to find any good documentation with my google-fu.
It costs $ but I really liked this pragprog book: http://pragprog.com/book/bhtmux/tmux Really good introduction, and the included config file is a good start.
And the book is $7.20 on Amazon for the Kindle, FYI. I just bought it (versus $14something @ pragprog)
Re: tmux 1.8 Released
#134I realise you can rebind them, but both screen and tmux do themselves a disservice by choosing binding keys which overlap with prominent keys in emacs and for users who use emacs mode in their shell. First impressions count. If you want to configure tmux to use just a backtick as the escape, create ~/.tmux.conf unbind C-b set -g prefix ` bind-key ` send-prefix When you need to type a backtick just press it twice. For…
I use the null character in GNU screen:
escape ^@^@
Control-] can also be a good choice (at least for US-style keyboards that don't require shift for the square brackets).

Another option is tramp[1], which lets you open files remotely (generally via ssh/scp). Not the same thing, but often accomplishes the same goal. [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/#Top
You still need a remote shell open if you want to run make, use SCM plugins, etc, so I've never found tramp that useful. If there's a clever solution for that I'd love to hear it.
Actually, make works in tramp by default if you use 'M-x compile' and friends.

I used to use tmuxinator, but it's pretty much abandoned. There are pull requests that are over a year old. On the other hand, I submitted a pull request to teamocil and it was merged the same day.
I'll actually help maintain tmuxinator now. :) The project is really awesome but the author doesn't have enough time for it, so he added me to the project a few days ago. I'll go through the pull requests soon.
That's good to hear. I always hate to see good projects die because their creators are super busy. Good luck with taking things over!
Re: tmux 1.8 Released
#139If you like tmux, also check out teamocil ( https://github.com/remiprev/teamocil ) to really enhance your use. It enables you to define tmux sessions via YAML, which is great for programmatically setting up a complex dev session. Mine, for example, fires up six panes in my preferred layout, and starts up a particular part of our project in each pane.
Thanks for that -- I could really use something like that.
Re: tmux 1.8 Released
#140http://www.tenshu.net/p/terminator.html kinda like this...
With terminator, you can have a windowing editor (vim) inside a windowing session manager (tmux) inside a windowing terminal (terminator).
Inception!
