I 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?

This actually works with GNU Screen. Because of this, and because of the lack of workspace reordering in tmux, I seem to be actually about the only person who likes Screen more than tmux.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

So why do you use screen rather than tmux for long running tasks, if you use tmux for everything else?

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.

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.

Awesome 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 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.
