My ultimate shell setup with Fish shell and Tmux

I personnally use Wez's Terminal (Wezterm: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/) because it is both a capable terminal and a capable multiplexer and I like to have one less layer to care about.
One thing I personally like very much is that it supports a command line tab and pane navigation/management : https://github.com/cassepipe/dot-git/blob/8b300524021cc74f67...

what terminal emulator would you recommend?

wezterm is pretty good, I've been using it for a long time without any issues. The feature set is honestly huge and I'm probably using 10% of the capabilities, but I like having a lot of options.
