A terminal multiplexer.

## Leader

I use <kbd title="CONTROL G">C-G</kbd> on workstation and laptop and <kbd title="CONTROL B">C-B</kbd> on server and media center.

Using <kbd>C-G</kbd> is less of a reach than <kbd>C-B</kbd> when using <kbd>CAPS LOCK</kbd> as <kbd>CTRL</kbd>.

Manage nested tmuxes by repeating the leader, e.g. server-within-a-server via <kbd>C-B C-B</kbd>.

## As an "IDE" &

A 1920px wide full-screen terminal using Ubuntu Mono 10pt (7px/ch) provides a width of 274ch.
This is enough space for two columns of full-width [[vim]] and a third column for a usable [[shell]]. See [[workon]].
