If you're on Windows, ConEmu offers the same functionality. And as a bonus you can also run windows apps inside the terminal window.

#32Moving to Emacs, I'm going to miss tmux more than I'll miss vim (there's evil-mode).
Re: Tmux 1.9 released
#33Has anyone used these, and can they give me a comparison: tmux/scree/byobu Currently a byobu user, it seems fine so far. Wondering what others offer more than that.
I use screen and tmux for different tasks. I'll use screen when I need to run a long-running task and can't keep my terminal session open. I use tmux with a script so that I can ssh into multiple nodes and broadcast the same commands to them all at the same time. Great for interactive deployments that I haven't been able to automate away with CFEngine just yet.
That tmux broadcast trick sounds interesting. Are you able to provide some more details about it please?
Re: Tmux 1.9 released
#34Does anyone know how to save/ retrieve sessions?
Depending on your meaning:
$ tmux detach
$ tmux attach
If you mean a way to save the workspace configuration, tmuxp, teamocil and tmuxinator are great solutions.
(Note, I wrote tmuxp as a python project a few months ago.)

#35Awesome little program. It's saved so much time so far. For anyone that wants to get up and running:
https://github.com/andyhmltn/dotfiles
That contains two tmux config files that add a few things like CTRL+B thenSHIFT+P for a nice layout and a shortcut for switching between panes with ALT+Arrow keys

I didn't know about it either but found this:

Seems like a neat trick

I personally use:
bind-key -n M-1 select-window -t 1
bind-key -n M-2 select-window -t 2
bind-key -n M-3 select-window -t 3
(...) For an IMHO even more convinient ALT+Number to switch directly to the tab in question, just like in firefox.

Pull up the command line with "Ctrl-b :"
Synchronize your panes: "setw synchronize-panes on"
Now you can send the same commands to all panes in the current window.
To turn synchronization off: "setw synchronize-panes off"
My shell script takes in a list of tuples (hostname plus a special id that I need to paste for my tasks that's unique to each host), splits off a window pane for each hostname(tmux split-window -h), ssh's into each host in it's own pane, and turns on synchronization.
I did a little trick to setup pastebuffers to hold that special id from the tuple i passed in. And setup keybindings so that I can press a key combination to paste in that ID whenever I need it to each respective pane.
If I ever need to temporarily remove a pane or several panes from the syncronized session but keep the others synced, I just change focus to the pane I want to unsync and put it into copy mode with "Ctrl-b [". Can take the pane back out of copy mode by hitting "q".
So far it's made me much more productive when I have to run a bunch of identical commands on a cluster of nodes for which we have no defined process (i.e. I'm figuring it out as I go).
I'll need to sanitize the script, but I'll try to put up a github gist of the script later on.

if you're running it on linux, is any reason to use screen for long-running tasks, instead of Docker?
I'm a heavy Docker user.
I'm using screen right now to scp 4.5Gb from home to my Docker host. I'll close the terminal at some point and check progress tomorrow.
I guess you could do that in Docker.. but why would you?

I have switched from screen to tmux and tmux IMHO more convenient (I have about 30 windows in 2..3 tmux sessions). Can't say anything about byobu.
