Thank you for the tip with "screen"! I was aware of MOSH but did not know about screen oO. Is there any other line-buffered ssh which does not require Emacs?

If you do know screen, then tmux is going to blow your mind.

Well, this is probably as good a place as any to ask a tough TMUX question I've had for several years. I love TMUX, but whenever I'm working with protocols or anything binary, if I accidentally push any binary out of stdout, it corrupts the display, and the only way I've figured out how to fix this once it's happened is to totally restart TMUX.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

(don't usually ask SO questions on HN but this has been bugging me for years)

I have very litle experience with TMUX... But you can try runnng the "reset" command. It resets the TTY, if TMUX does not use any crazy magic it should work.

Tried 'reset'?

'reset' might work, but often when this happens to me, it's because the window's name has been changed to something ridiculous. Hit "<prefix>," and rename your window back to something sensible.

'reset' combined with renaming the window may just work. Thanks for everyone's input!

Kill the pane (prefix x) and then run `reset`, maybe?

tmux is awesome indeed!
