Well, no need to really look forward... You already have every one of those capabilities with Emacs. >you could put together anything from a simple test/editing environment to a full-blown IDE. People already do this with Emacs.

You're not doing a good sell for Emacs. People choose vi because of modal editing, not because they are ignorant of the Emacs feature set. You should at least say, "If you like vim for its modal editing features, but would also like support for session detachment along with a host of other stuff, you might find Spacemacs, or emacs with evil mode setup, a good alternative. There's a little bit of a learning curve, but…

> People choose vi because of modal editing, not because they are ignorant of the Emacs feature set. Exactly this. I had used Emacs for many, many years and finally decided to give Vim a go... and never looked back. Emacs is very powerful, and while the Elisp infrastructure has distinct advantages over Vimscript, the compositional richness of Vim's editing model is amazing. I don't have to drop to scripting because V…

Curious that you chose to switch editor outright rather than just install some more modal package, after all those years. I chouse the former as the path of least resistance.

I've only recently discovered tmux (feels ashamed).

It's fantastic. The only thing I miss is just a sprinkle of mouse interaction. Moving around with the keys is easy enough of course but if you have a terminal in an otherwise desktop environment, it would be really nice to just be able to "click" in a pane to focus it.

If you really want this, you should use a tiling window manager and use "focus follows cursor" or "focus on click".

It makes me sad to see a respectable piece of open source software hosted on this site with its intrusive advertising practices such as ads with fake "install" buttons on the download page. What is the advantage of using Sourceforge these days when github and bitbucket are free for open source?

I was thinking exactly this, I just logged a bug for them to move the project: https://sourceforge.net/p/tmux/tickets/192/

Learned Tmux a few weeks ago and use it every day now. You can enable Mouse Mode, on Macs you can install extra Tmux features, and iTerm2 has mouse mode built in.

> Not really. How do you figure? It was "the way" to share your OSS project in its time. It wasn't great, but it was the best we had.

> It was "the way" to share your OSS project in its time Nobody questions that. But that doesn't quality for "the GitHub of that time", because most people like to use GitHub, so the analogy is incomplete in some essential aspects.

Eh, that's pretty nebulous. There's a whole lot not to like about GitHub, too. Vaguely hand wavy "oh that doesn't count cuz most people like GitHub" isn't really much proof of anything.

Still no true color support :-(

a couple of people have asked me about how true colour should look but none have sent code so far, it's not a very interesting feature to me so it'll need someone who cares about it to do it
