Our team actually uses tmux all the time! That said, we figured there was room for an awesome collaboration tool for folks that preferred GUI-based editors/IDEs.

In addition, you can start a Live Share session, share a terminal, and then use Vim/tmux/etc. from there. A bit of overkill, but still kind of cool :)

I have actually done exactly that (because we were working on multiple repos at once but sharing a new repo on LiveShare while a session is on disconnects everyone..)

I'd love to hear more about the Live Share issue you ran into, and make sure we're tracking it (https://github.com/microsoft/live-share).

If you open a new Live Share session with a folder of code let's say, and then you want to add another folder to the workspace, this disconnects everyone and ends the session. I've reproduced it multiple times.

Ah OK got it, yeah that's a known limitation. That's something we plan to add support for very soon. Apologies for the current inconvenience!

No worries! Fantastic tool.
