one ssh+tmux connection by panel

well that would be like putting two terminals next to each other.

doing that inside the terminal instead has the advantage that it works on remote terminals too.

there is splitvt, but it doesn't seem to be actively maintained anymore

Pretty much! Not a perfect solution for sure.

I used to only rely on tmux, but nowadays I often prefer opening more terminals windows. I found out that by overly relying on tmux, I kept opened a way too high number of shells (browser tabs, anyone?).

Now for most tasks I open a terminal without tmux, that way I'm forced to close it if I don't want to have a cluttered desktop (I never minimize or hide windows, I don't even know how to do it on my wm).
