    Tmux breaks interacting with the clipboard so much that it has its own dedicated Wiki page dealing with all of the different issues and settings: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Clipboard

    If so, tmux in control mode [1] plus iTerm2 could be what you're looking for. You would use the -CC flag when starting tmux either locally or on a remote host.

    This brings all the niceties of an iTerm shell session, but still allow you to detach from tmux and reattach at a later point whilst still using the native iTerm features. Almost indefinite scrollback, as you mentioned. Also good terminal search facilities, and features to filter text in the session to display only lines that contain a keyword. Instant Replay lets you drag a slider and replay old TUI output that may have been erased from the screen [2]. And the configurable hotkeys are very convenient for pane splitting, which I find to be more convenient than the leader-plus-command of tmux. I find the toolbelt window useful, and sometimes define snippets of long cumbersome commands where it isn't possible or maybe appropriate to define aliases on a remote host. For local tmux sessions, I like some of the features of the iTerm shell extensions, like jumping back to the points of previous commands entered, which helps navigate through large amounts of console output. Or the directory name picker based on frecency, which is useful for adding directory names when composing long commands or to jump to a directory when using Zsh (which lets you omit the 'cd' command).

    "Nvim 0.10 can now use the OSC 52 escape sequence to write to (or read from) the system clipboard."

    This is a big deal! (it shouldn't be, but it is)

    My main complaints about vim/emacs in the past was at the sheer complexity of getting something that should not even be a concern (clipboard integration) working properly, when other text/code editors did not have this problem at all.

    Searching online, it seems like tmux has some nice documentation related to OSC 52 usage:

    https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Clipboard

    I will be playing around with this for a bit to understand it more. But honestly, this is the sort of thing that should "Just Work TM".

    "VTE terminals (GNOME terminal, XFCE terminal, Terminator) do not support the OSC 52 escape sequence."

    https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/2495

    That's a shame, but I'm not against using a different terminal emulator. Up until now I did not really have a good reason to.

    This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

    I use Tmux. It's a terminal-agnostic multiplexer. Gives you persistence and automation superpowers.

    Having a common set of tools already set up in different windows or sessions in Tmux or Zellij is obviously an option, but there is a subset of us ( 👋 ) that would rather just have fingertip access to our common tools inside of our editor.

    Once you have your Mac or Linux machine ready, make sure to downlaod and install TMUX (Terminal Mulitplexer). A lot of our scripts are going to be running headless inside of a TMUX session as it's an incredibly clean way to manage and organise different workspaces simultaneously. A lot of our scripts will help us to interact with TMUX so don't worry if it looks a little intimidating at first. You can install TMUX using your package manager in the terminal, use whichever applies to you:
  • Zellij – A terminal workspace with batteries included (tmux alternative)
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Feb 2024
    After having spent too much time trying to get the simple https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/ features into mainline tmux (last November https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/3753), maybe it'd be easier to jump ship as use zellij?

    Could anyone offer recommendations on "riced" zellij configuations, or just a demo where it shows doing with (say charts of disk usage per folder), watching a movie with mpv + keeping a vim to type on?
