It still sounds like a very shallow (naive?) use of tmux to me, I'm in no way a real power user of tmux and I use a lot more feature than that.

You could talk about binds without prefix, sessions, customized status bar, pane swapping, bind keys to script launching, plugins, pane highlighting...

And the best feature of all for me: maximized pane toggle. I use that ALL the time.

I never could find all features I needed from an emulator (plus, I want a drop-down terminal), Tmux have them all and more and I'm not dependent of a specific emulator.



Do you have any better recommendations on what to read in this case? If you do, I would love to read them! If not, you could do a great thing and use your knowledge to help the rest of us out.


I agree, I'm less of a power user than you and still had the same feeling.
