Byobu, a simple terminal multiplexer
I am not a proponent of highly customized development environments. During the years, I’ve tried employing various “advanced” tools and tricks in my workflow: zsh, all sorts of terminals, shortcuts, aliases, and so on. Most of them didn’t stick. In most cases, I’m not interested enough to change the ways and habits for something that is supposed to marginally improve my everyday work, doesn’t come by default, and requires extra configuration.
Still, among such tools, there are a few exceptions that seem to strike a balance between complexity and added value, and one of them is byobu.
