I’m using “nested” tabs a lot. For example, on the 12″ laptop I’m typing this eMail right now, this is a pine session on a server, on which I’m connected per ssh using a shell in a GNU screen inside xterm. Occasionally, I even have a GNU screen running remotely. (Didn’t switch to tmix yet as it doesn’t handle all my usecases, and I have heavy local patches to GNU screen.) The xterm is almost-fullscreen here, but some people have lots of them, and I occasionally do. This all runs on X11, with evilwm, which provides 8 virtual workspaces, which I also use heavily (at least 2, usually 3, often 4, sometimes more). I’ve gone far enough to assign memorised positions to usecases and/or applications, e.g. IRC is on GNU screen tab #0 on xterm on virtual desktop 1, mail is tab#1, music and “leisure reading” lynx session are in screen tabs on virtual desktop 2, etc. bye, //mirabilos -- 22:59⎜<Vutral> glaub ich termkit is kompliziert | glabe nicht das man damit schneller arbeitet | reizüberflutung │ wie windows │ alles evil zuviel bilder │ wie ein spiel | 23:00⎜<Vutral> die meisten raffen auch nicht mehr von windows | 23:01⎜<Vutral> bilderbücher sind ja auch nich wirklich verbreitet als erwachsenen literatur ‣ who needs GUIs thus?
