  > but what if I want to open two terminals that share the same set of splits?
You want clones? I'll admit most terminals can't do this (some can), but I'm struggling to see the use case. What's the advantage of having 2 windows displaying the same information?

  > What if I want to SSH back into my desktop
Agreed! That was the explicitly stated usecase where I said tmux was for[0]

  > Vim splits and the vim terminal are poorly implemented.
Completely fair and I avoid for exactly those reasons. But they're still handy in a pinch and they're good to know about

BUT tmux is also poorly implemented. Start trying to use sixel (or kitty graphics) in your fzf previews, yazi, or whatever you're displaying things with. This is a big pain point.

  > please don't criticize my scripts
Do you want friendly comments? All code sucks so I'll not going to call you dumb or anything. But do upload somewhere so I don't have to download 0x0.st is perfect for this usecase.

  > Using titles
Your terminal doesn't do titles? What terminal are you using?

[0] I'll also admit Claude code is another use case. But that is because it is so poorly written not because the terminals suck. I absolutely believe Dario when he says Claude does most of the coding... it shows...
