Unfortunately mosh didn't place nice with wemux, but I used it today for several hours. Rogue mode was nice. Thanks zolrath.

Mosh doesn't play nice with wemux specifically or tmux as a whole? Glad you liked it, in any case! I'd love to hear any comments/questions/suggestions anyone has, I'd like wemux to be as good as it can be!

This looks great! I tried it with the default settings and could share a sessions very easily. On the other hand I'm trying to use `wemux rogue` but I get the following:

  wemux rogue
  unknown command: rogue
  To see a list of wemux commands enter 'wemux help'...
And wemux help does not list `wemux rogue` as one of the options. I installed it by following the `brew install` process in the README.

I had the same issue while testing rogue mode. You need to do the "wemux rogue" with a user not included in your host_list in your wemux.conf. The available commands are different for hosts and other users.

Doesn't GNU Screen support this out of the box?

I believe GNU Screen supports mirror mode (read-only) and pair mode (one shared cursor), but rogue mode (two independent cursors, shared terminal) is the real differentiation from GNU Screen. Great for remote teams who are heavily command-line based (developers and deployment folks).

Can tmux give two client the same window, but different panes? This means they can see each others cursor on another part of the window.

I'm really glad remote pairing is getting such inventive attention lately. I have, however, been a little disappointed that the mode of collaborating that I prefer doesn't seem to be well supported.

Many people can't or don't want to grant login access to their local development machine in order to share a screen/tmux session and using a mutually accessible machine means leaving behind or laboriously duplicating the local development experience.

I've used hacks to get what I want (https://dev.launchpad.net/yellow/RemoteTerminalBroadcasting) but I haven't found anything truly satisfying yet.
