Hi there,

I recently saw that emacs can replace tmux, but I haven’t found complete information about it.

    I love emacs, but no, it does not replace tmux; I use tmux to have multiple long lived sessions on a remote machine, so I SSH into something, start up tmux and then kick off a CLI process that will take a long time to finish.

    i believe that’s doable in Emacs with detached.el, there’s a section on their docs regarding working with remote connections. you can also find some videos on YouTube from the author.

      Perhaps that would work? It looks like a gigantic pain in the ass, that after several hours of futzing with it one would find that a bastion server in the way fucks it all up, or it somehow gets lost. I have doubts about it’s stability.

      If that’s working for you, good on you, but I still contend that does not replace tmux. Especially if you have peers.

      Thank you for showing it to me though!
