Comment on Tools I Use - tmux

Comments

I love using terminal multiplexors, but prefer GNU Screen since it is almost always available wherever I need it. For those interested, I use the following to show a status line -- comes in handy when you want to name difference screens. You can always name a screen using "C-a A"

  hardstatus alwayslastline "%?%{yk}%-Lw%?%{yk}%n*%f %t%?(%u)%?%?%{yk}%+Lw%?"

I prefer GNU Screen for the nethack mode. It is a shame that Screen does not ship with a nicer hardstatusline by default - you can do some really amazing things there.
