Not to mention iterm, IMO the best terminal emulator I have ever used.
For example, this is my current desktop.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dn0whcursdzfn23/desktop--2021-03-29.png?dl=0
That is:
- 2 iterm windows side by side, one filling each half of the screen
- the left one has 2 iterm panes: a big editor at the top, and a shallow
shell below it; those two panes are in the left of the two iterm tabs
- the editor window is vim, with 2 vim windows in it (my normal
arrangement because the vim focus is just a toggle instead of a
rotation among more windows)
- the right iterm window is _one_ pane, containing mutt in a tmux
session; this is the third of the 4 tabs in the right hand iterm
window
- because I'm replying to you, the reply compose is _also_ a tmux
session (which means I can detach!)
- the upper (mutt) tmux session has been split into 2 panes by my reply
macro - the upper has the mutt, the lower has the reply tmux session
(hence the double status line at the bottom - tmux inside tmux).
Also notice the tmux session names at bottom left - these make the
tmux listing easy to recognise. Once this reply is sent, I'll have a
full height mutt index in front of me again.
- the iconic Mac menu bar is autohidden, as is the traditional Mac Dock;
they appear i I wave my mouse to the appropriate screen edge
- this is one of 10 virtual desktops
You may notice I have lots of pixels. That's a 16" Macbook pro laptop in
native resolution mode.
