Very cool! I was always struggling during live presentations switching from browser to console window. Now I can use a browser window on the projector screen for both presentation and console.

Thanks for sharing.

Not to be snarky, but what's wrong with Alt+Tab (Or platform-specific equivalent)? You still have to use multiple windows -- that both happen to be in the browser doesn't seem particularly important.
I'm presenting a 101 python course tomorrow, I've just spotted this and I'm going to give it a go! Looks like it would be pretty cool (tmux!)
For that use-case, it's worth taking a look at the Chrome app store - there are a number of ssh clients that will run in a Chrome tab.
Ideally, you could even have console demos "embedded" within the presentation itself, perhaps even multiple consoles in order to show how changing state in one system affects another system.

You would need to set up gotty ahead of time with the specific demos, and embed requests for those iframes in slides or parts of slides.
