I use tmux for everything because I work in a headless VM where a WM isn't available.
replyI ssh in multiple times. If I really needed to, I suppose I could use vnc.
replyYou don't have a window manager hosting the terminal window on your host OS? That's the argument being made here, you're already in some kind of tiling or windowed environment, why replicate all of that on the remote?
replybecause my remote is a server that keeps running while my laptop gets rebooted frequently. i can leave a tmux session running on the server for months...
replyBecause with tmux you can reattach to session from another pc or from a phone and still have the same windows and panes?

replyI'm in the same boat and https://github.com/neurosnap/zmx has been working very well for me.
reply> I would welcome a version of it that stripped out everything but that, and just replayed the last few pages of scrollback on reattach.
replyLike `dtach`?
Thanks. Dtach is definitely closer to what I want than tmux, I'll be trying it out this week.
replyCheck out shpool, whose tagline is "Think tmux, then aim... lower" :-)
replyUnless I'm misreading this, I would also offer `mosh` as a recommendation. Has been nothing but excellent for my use cases.
replyzmosh is zmx+mosh
replyI use iTerm2 with tmux CC mode. Works great and gives native tabs and panes.
replyUsing mosh would help specifically with the network reconnection piece.
replywindow manager like what though?
replyMac WM is horrible, I use aerospace to make it tolerable
i3, dwm, hyprland etc...
