Pretty much agree with most of his post. Terminal multiplexers are useless on your desktop, but great on servers you ssh to.

Wild ideas aside, zellij is really nice as just a terminal multiplexer though 😅

Do you not SSH onto your desktop? I do it all the time. I often want to switch from coding at my desk to coding on a laptop, and tmux + SSH makes that transition completely seamless.

Do you use any IDE with that flow?

[–] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

Basically just tmux + Helix + fish shell.

Yes, vim.
