Moreover, this howto allows you to try the patched mosh binaries without touching your existing mosh installation. Mosh is a small program, so the build is very quick. With this howto, you can build a patched version of mosh (client and server) that is compatible with iTerm’s Tmux Integration. The problem is iTerm’s Tmux integration works fine when using ssh, but not when using mosh. Basically everything you can do in iTerm2 regular tabs, you can probably do with your tmux session rendered by iTerm2’s Tmux Integration. Switching between tabs with keyboard shortcuts. Supports intuitive text selection and advanced text selection (discontiguous select & copy) built into iTerm. Supports iTerm2’s very quick & capable Cmd-F (Find) instead of tmux’s Find. Allows you to scroll back through your tmux window with Macbook touchpad gestures and iTerm hotkeys.
#ITERM2 VS TMUX WINDOWS#
Very cool iTerm2 feature that renders your tmux windows as native iTerm2 tabs. It allows you to keep active windows (and panes) in a session that remains alive even after you disconnect from the remote server.ģ) iTerm2’s Tmux Integration: Runs on Mac.
Replacement for the old ‘screen’ utility. It’s not just for unreliable connections, I use mosh everywhere because it saves me time.Ģ) tmux: Runs on the server. train) or you are on VPN a lot, you really should use mosh instead of ssh. If your IP address changes while you commute (eg. Whenever I open my macbook, my shell sessions are exactly where they were before and ready for the next command. I can login to a server and never need to re-login for *months*. physical locations), VPNs, or network interfaces. Virtually indestructible ssh-like sessions that remain “live” even after you change IP addresses (ie. An ssh replacement that is secured with AES-128 and ssh. My dream setup was these 3 running together:ġ) mosh: Runs on client and on server.
#ITERM2 VS TMUX MAC#
I have found terminal/shell nirvana on my Mac with mosh + tmux + iTerm2 Tmux Integration, but it wasn’t easy. It works flawlessly with iTerm2 and tmux. NOTE! Don’t follow this article, just use Eternal Terminal (et) instead of mosh (and instead of ssh).
