from the pimp-my-tmux dept.

Tmux is a well-written terminal multiplexer. It allows access to multiple separate terminal sessions inside a single terminal window or remote terminal session. It can do quite a lot when advanced configurations are taken into account. Here Gregory Pakosz' explains his pretty and versatile tmux status bar modifications line by line. His modifications look great and just work, combining form and function.

    i3 [i3wm.org] solves the problem at the root cause. Though admittedly, you'd still want lxde (for lxappearance) and/or xfce around to adjust GTK themes and fix the odd glitch in some apps just in case. But I honestly haven't touched those in years...

    at some point I was looking into this, but ended up using plasma (I still think of it as kde, but whatever), with multiple separate terminator windows that I tile using "xdotool" from inside the terminal.
    I wrote a little script which takes desired grid shape/position as parameters, and then applies them to the current window.
    once the terminals are in place, I can resize everything else with "snap" functionality.
    this works beautifully on my 3840x2160 display.

    i3 locally, tmux remotely, vim either way. Tiles in tiles in tiles, dawg.
