could you help me understand the appeal of running everything in tmux? i use tmux if i have long running scraping/db backup or restore, or something similar.

it seems like an awesome thing to geek out on.

but i keep claude code sessions running for days that sometimes get interrupted that are easily resumed. without the tmux latency or giving up aspects of rendering.

I haven't experienced any latency in tmux, so I'm not sure what you're experiencing. For rendering, you may have to change your `TERM` value in your shell.

Tmux is highly keyboard driven and I hardly use any graphical applications outside of my browser. My workflow is basically the same regardless of whether I'm using Linux, macOS or Windows because my workflow lives in the terminal. If I close the terminal, I can continue the session and I can SSH into the machine from another machine.

It's also got a rich plugin ecosystem and is available on pretty much any package distribution. You can also preprogram your layouts if you always do your layouts the same way.

appreciate the reply!
