Wondering if customizations for tmux can be saved, and loaded for uniformity? I run a Mac, fedora, and connect to HPC clusters (which, I just found out … can run their own tmux after connecting). I guess I’ll find out in video 5 … but if not, I’ll prob stick with defaults for uniformity.
What's a good use case for tmux? - this sort of thing with split panes would have been great in the day and presumably is where tmux is from with dumb terminals where you had limited screens. The VT220 had the ability to flip 4 sessions and buffer them - in those days I could keep track of that activity but these days on laptop (Mac/Windows) you just start new sessions to whatever (now I struggle to keep up with what is what lol). Screen real estate for me is important slicing a window into 4 not seeing the full screen having to scroll for example doesn't seem as good as having a giant or multiple monitors with different sessions. Also not a fan so far have to force myself to use vs-code with a bash session at the bottom been just iterm-ing loads of shells and doing work in all of them and then flipping between them.
It's quite handy for working remotely with a server. Even if your internet connection drops, you won't lose any progress since your tmux session will still be running with all its children. Also, you don't have to retype the SSH command each time you need another pane or window, which certainly makes for a more convenient workflow
I really appreciate the production value and care you take in making your episodes. The quality shows.
You're great bro, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the video and a question... do you use a linux on workstation?
