[@kittenwizard4703]

​@@khanra17when bosses and coworkers stop valuing "busy work" and complexity for complexity's sake then I will, I am not gonna work harder for no reason if I can help it, and if pretending to do so makes my paycheck rise and actual hard work is frowned upon and not rewarded why do it? Do you work your programming job for the sake of programming? Or do you do it because it allows you to live another day

[@graydhd8688]

@@khanra17 I didn't have to spend a whole lot of time configuring and setting up tmux, but it's made my work flow indescribably smoother. I get you with the useless rabbit holes thing, but I would argue this is absolutely NOT one of them. It's simple yet very powerful. I can keep myself much more organized with it in a way that save a TON of time

[@vidal9747]

​@@khanra17 it is incredible useful and you are just stupid. It took less than 1h to setup and saved me countless headaches. If you take too long to setup it is just a skill issue.

@@traveller23e Well, Zellij has some plugins of tmux (like resurect or the layout management with files) builtin and it's written with Rust. But the lacking feature of zellij is the capacity to target and send message to soecific panes though. It will be added later

@@traveller23e Oh _I_ don't use it. I'm just laughing about those guys lol Emacs is a nice OS, it just lacks a good text editor.

[@justsomeonepassingby3838]

​@@traveller23eemacs is a programmable GUI application. vim is a *text* editor with additional scripting features and a bunch of builtin shortcuts. It's fast even when running replace regexes over an entire file, but usually only supports *text* edition (not semantic edition, like moving something in a parent block) or graphical things like fonts or images. Emacs is literally a lisp environment with a GUI. It can do emails, web browsing, read pdfs, play chess, display images, play sound,... as long as someone is willing to program the feature in a lisp plugin. Emacs is the best *code* editor (while vim is the best *text* editor), because lisp is a powerful language for code analysis. Emacs plugins can manipulate the AST of a program, extract chunks of it to run them, and manage an REPL in a subprocess to test code while writing it. Languages like common lisp and ocaml, that require a high level of code analysis, are basically emacs-or-nothing. Emacs is also infinitely better than vim at latex, since it can display pdf, and vim can't. Unfortunately, emacs is old and emacs lisp is ugly and long to understand. Those who use emacs are usually lisp supremacists who also use guix (guile) and nyxt (common lisp)

[@Soul-Burn]

First thing to configure is switch it from the hard to reach Ctrl-B to Ctrl-A, and set Ctrl-A Space to switch to the next pane i.e. use screen keybinds.

[@mahaddev]

It's a life-saver when dealing with long running commands over ssh. You run the command, detach, then come back to see all the logs

[@gfrewqpoiu]

Zellij is basically like a preconfigured tmux with stuff like session restore working out of the box and scrolling being much nicer. It even accepts the same keybinds. Definitely also worth a look.
