The release notes don't say: Is this a session-breaking update? I'd hate to run the update only to have it kill my current TMUX session. Devs - if you're reading this: PLEASE indicate if I could update without restarting the session.

Does not appear to be a session-breaking update. I just updated with no ill effects.

I do. It's closer to the prefix/leader I was used to when using screen ( ), and I find it easier to type.

Why not use C-a?

I also use C-s on my local machine because:

1. I can still use C-a with readline (go to first character)

2. If I ssh and then use screen, I can use C-a to navigate my remote screen and C-s to navigate my local tmux.

3. C-s is closer to C-a then other letters on my keyboard.

Are you sure you don't have any ad blocker installed?

A reasonable followup question why wouldn't one have an ad blocker installed?

The original question was, why use a host that tries to show you ads in the first place?

Because it's how 99% of websites get their funding, allowing them to survive. Why have an adblocker installed when you can avoid the sites with obnoxious adverts?

I use tmux all the time, but I've read about dtach/dvtm. http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/dvtm/#why Anyone using that instead ?

I'm using dvtm, after trying screen and tmux in the past. No particular reason other than it's Xmonad-like layout switching.

It's crashed once, in a few months of usage. Make of that what you will.

Does anyone else wish tmux were modal like vim, ie. without a "leader" key? My conf file has a ton of custom key bindings for window / pane management, and I'd love for them to go away or become simplified by simply dropping into a "window management mode". Likewise, I'd like the command mode to stay open until I close it. I have some scripted hacks to do this, but it's nowhere near what I'd expect from true modality.

One of these days I guess I could get around to writing a patch. This single feature is probably my most wanted for any software at the moment.

I'm looking forward to the combination of Tmux and Neovim. Both (will) support detached/shared sessions, both are scriptable/configurable, both can be driven by a remote process. I believe with Tmux and Neovim you could put together anything from a simple test/editing environment to a full-blown IDE.

Well, no need to really look forward... You already have every one of those capabilities with Emacs.

People already do this with Emacs.

Sometimes I have to get useful tools from them....like tmux.

As to why I use Adblock, I've never. Not once. Ever. Bought anything from an ad on a website. I _have_ bought books and such from the referral links on blogs (which adblock doesn't block).

The reason I use adblock is because I'm not the demographic ads on websites are targeting. So websites aren't losing any revenue by me not seeing their ads.
