tmux is a basically all of the modern features of terminal management but scriptable.

So you can have tabs, splits, sessions, etc, all scriptable. Eg if I hit F1 in the shell I automatically get the command’s man page alongside the interactive shell.

I’ve also used it on occasions where I’ve needed to pair program with someone on a poor internet connection. We’d SSH into a common area and share a tmux session while chatting on a regular phone call. Thus no bandwidth heavy video conferencing.

It’s also been handy back before I worked fully remotely, I’d have a dedicated desktop running tmux and when I got home I would VPN into the office and resume the tmux session so I could resume where I left off.
