I ditched the venerable GNU Screen many years ago for tmux as it produces less issues and something that I cannot remember anymore was missing in Screen for many years after still.
Nowadays I occasionally run into issues with tmux (and screen) as many (modern?) TUI and terminal emulators run into hiccups
Since modern terminal emulators like Konsole and Kitty are perfectly capable of handling tabs and window panes, all I need tmux etc. for is session permanence. The most typical example being when I access my server, I want to be able to do some work in the terminal, disconnect and later re-connect and continue where I left off.
I just learnt about dtach and abduco, so I was about to move my workflows to that … and then I noticed they haven’t been updated since 2017 and 2020, respectively.
So I wonder what people actually use / what is now the “modern screen replacement”.
So, you’re happy with konsole and you believe that it supplants a lot of tmux functionality?
I don’t see how this is so, since you can control konsole via keycodes, shortcuts, bookmarks; and likewise tmux can be controlled by keycodes, menus, bookmarks, etc.. konsole and tmux get along great with each other imo.
To answer your question however, this is what I use in fact (konsole and tmux). I have a bunch of named sessions hardwired into shortcuts that I can control via the mouse or keystroke (I prefer the mouse and menus as they give me visual cues). I could make them more general I suppose, but, I can’t imagine anything that can’t be done (or turned into one click) via these mechanisms. I certainly wouldn’t give up on tmux or konsole.
Tmux is great at what it sets out to do, but after many many years I still seem to use only a tiny bit of its features.
I’m saying that I may not need all the features that screen/tmux give, and just something simple like abduco/dtach might be enough for me together with Konsole and/or Kitty.
So I’m looking for something that’s actively maintained
