If you use screen mainly to disconnect a terminal from.m an SSH session then tmux won’t do much for you. However, it would be easy to switch because you’re only scratching the surface.

If you use it heavily, then you may be hitting limitations and it would be worth experimenting with.

I find that I do most of the tmux-like things with multiple iterm windows instead, but I’m a lousy mouser.

iTerm2 actually has a pretty well-designed tmux integration[0].

Overview from the guide:

  When you run "tmux -CC", a new tmux session is created. An iTerm2 window opens and it acts like a normal iTerm2 window. The difference is that when iTerm2 quits or the ssh session is lost, tmux keeps running. You can return to the host you were ssh'ed into and run "tmux -CC attach" and the iTerm2 windows will reopen in the same state they were in before.
It works with multiple panes, windows, etc. Worth trying out!
