How does this compare to ssh+gnu screen on the remote host?
Native scrolling, I think

#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
I guess it is the reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial Although in our times it won't even be that surprising if remote shells started phoning home...
This website is for high quality discussion, not low effort pop culture references.
And yet, I'm not sure I would call the majority of discussion on this website "high quality".
Re: Eternal Terminal
#43I'm glad that it has tmux compatibility. Does anyone else have a love hate relationship with tmux? I hate its scrolling and buffer behavior, its almost impossible to get right. Been waiting for a good replacement for tmux to come along for a while now that isn't just i3. Right now I just use tabs in the terminal app most of the time because I dont want to mess with mouse mode, etc.
I never quite understood the usecase of having tabs inside the terminal emulator. Isn't it nice to have i3 instead?

I wasn't planning on sharing my project on HN until I've written up more documentation, but I'm actually working on exactly this problem. https://github.com/aaronjanse/i3-tmux So far I…
How is the colour support better?

#45As a current mosh user i'm interested but I don't know what "support native scrolling nor tmux control mode" means. Any insight?
This is the best way to use iTerm2's tmux integration mode on a remote host. I wrote some guidance here:

#46Ever since moving to eshell+tramp, all of these persistence tools, however beautifully designed, somehow strike me as solving the wrong problem.

> Does anyone else have a love hate relationship with tmux? Absolutely. Just today I logged in on some server and started a tmux session to learn that copypasting with mouse didn't work. After googling how to solve this I noticed that scrollback with mousehweel also didn't work. Then I remembered that I did solve that some time ago but never was satisfied with it because the scroll speed/differential was so low.
It is easy to change the scroll speed in tmux, although the default is 5 lines at a time which seems like it should be fast enough...
Mouse and scrollback and clipboard are some of the more complicated areas of terminal emulators and ones where applications like tmux have the least power so they will always have the potential to be a bit fiddly.

And when I switch laptops I get to type 'tmux at' in 14 different windows? No thanks.

#49It is down for me, I wonder if .dev domain is filtered for me? Anyone has issues accesing this?
Re: Eternal Terminal
#50For someone wondering "how is this different from screen?/ what problem does it solve?", this article was actually quite nice: https://medium.com/@grassfedcode/what-could-be-better-than-s...
I asked my self the same question, scanned the linked article and did not find any matches for "screen". So please, could you tell me in short, what the benefit is?
