#22I have to say that the tmux-users mailing list in general, and Nicholas Marriott in particular, are really nice and friendly.
I had a feature request (256 colors in fbterm so you can get 256 color tmux/vim without x), quickly got patch code, got support (I had never used patch before and didn't tell it to ignore whitespace) and when it worked, was told it would be in 1.9, and there it is. :-)

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
The reason folks asked, "docker is a screen replacement?" is because one typical use case is using screen within an ssh session where you might get disconnected. screen holds onto the session so that you can ssh back in and continue from where you left off. $ ssh hostname $ screen # some time later, you get disconnected... $ ssh hostname $ screen -x # back to where you were before getting disconnected.
Screen is amazing for SSH work or if you just don't want to have 50 tabs open. I've been looking into tmux lately though for the later. I just found out about it last week. Seriously, the amount of commands linux has that most people don't know about is staggering. This link[1] was on HN just the other day.

I use tmux at work to manage at times up to several dozen sessions each with several windows/panes (I make one session for every conceptual task that I take on, and sessions live until I complete the task). In my experience it is much more robust than screen (not as many dungeon collapses, if you know what I mean) and well worth switching to.

#25I remember using on the mac a branch of tmux with iTerm, where the gui understood tmux, giving native tabs and scrollback. I thought this was the greatest thing ever, but am now on Linux. Is this work still continuing does anyone know?
Isn't one of the advantages of tmux is reduce / avoid using the mouse? I know that scrolling is one of the first non-obvious changes that seem irritating at first. But after you get used to scrolling with the keyboard, I find myself missing this possibility on 'standard' terminal windows. Suddenly using the mouse to scroll feels really awkward and inefficient.
Depends. If you have a ThinkPad with a TrackPoint-style mouse, it's actually really convenient having a mouse in the home row. Hold the middle button and scroll up/down easily.

RTFM.

I use emacs inside tmux all the time (on a Mac, in iTerm2). Works great.

Why can't you have both efficient mouse AND keyboard control?
Sometimes your hand is on the mouse and it makes for sense to use it.

I think I can live without scrolling, but what I found most irritating when trying tmux is selecting / copying / pasting things. ATM I use iterm with split panes and a 'quake-style' dropdown terminal; tbh it works well enough for me.
you can scroll just fine in tmux, in fact better because you can search in your scroll back. [
as for selecting copying pasting. i use these options
set -g mouse-resize-pane on
set -g mouse-select-pane on
also if you set
setw -g mode-mouse on
on a mac, iterm2 does this natively(in linux it works anyway). but if you want to use that in terminal or totalterminal(quake term) you'll need to install mouseterm. I recommend using mouseterm-plus as i recall mouse term is no longer maintained.
