Re: tmux panes
I started out using GNU screen back in the mid 90's when I first started running Linux. I eventually jumped ship to tmux when it came out in 2007. I've burned the paned terminal keybindings into my muscle memory. So much so that sitting at someone else's terminal causes me a little struggle. I've also been the tech person running on old hardware. Screens too small, systems too slow. So when I'm running a *nix box its rarely in X11 unless I need to do something web related. Terminal mode is my default.
When I run tmux I have multiple windows open, and labeled with the task I'm performing. `C-b a` and then `C-b ,` happens without my brain even thinking about it. Same goes for splitting and resizing panes. I might be editing some code and know I'm going to run unit tests and the tiny window at the bottom of neovim just isn't big enough to really see what is going on so I split vertically and resize to 75/25. Or I might be trying to resolve some process issue so I want a small terminal at the bottom while running htop in the top pane. Maybe you need to `tail -f` a log file while you work on something and you only need a few lines to see.
