I am aware of tmux, dvtm, zellij, and GNU screen. That's it: just 4.
Has anyone written a comparison of them? I would be genuinely interested. I personally favour ease of use over features.
It is sad that it has not been maintained in a while (written in rust) as I much prefer the low cognitive load approach it presents (just fuzzy find) as well as the workspace feature.
Would be interested in knowing if there is something similar and maintained.
P.S. Does anyone here know how to make GNU Screen start up by default on a terminal launch?
I've tried it, briefly, and my impression was that it's full-screen (or full-terminal-emulator-window) only. Which means it's not the same kind of thing at all.
There are various full-screen terminal multiplexors out there, but the point is this:
* modern screens are big and can show hundreds of rows and columns
* very long lines are really hard to read
* So, I want a tool to split up that big space into multiple smaller windows. I want to be able to keep eyes on several things at once, side by side.
* With shorter, more readable lines.

I was hoping to find an encryption option but did not

I do like any app with a command palette though https://cfoust.github.io/cy/quick-start/command-palette.html
