glad you've enjoyed it :) i was trying to find something that was clear while still being easy to skim.

> You mentioned the arcane keyboard shortcuts of tmux.

oh, i've remapped almost all the shortcuts in tmux. `ctrl-k` is not the default prefix and `h` is not the default key for "select pane left".

i haven't tried byobu but from skimming the readme i expect it not to have a ton other than nicer default key bindings, and i'd rather not add more layers to my terminal.



Gotcha! My main reason for advocating for byobu is it's more beginner/defaults-friendly. I've never customized it, nor fully learned its hotkeys.

In my case, we have dev robots with byobu installed, and it's much easier to train non-SW engineers (i.e. HW folks, technicians, QA) on its use (primarily for remote session persistence).

(This is also why I don't do much/heavy customization these days: for uniformity between local and robot machines...)
