Using multiple terminal windows

Is is a quite usual use case that you want to use several terminal windows: you work on several different locations, you run different services at the same time without doing it in the background and so on. On typical solution is to use tabs: Mac Terminal has this capability, on Linux you can do it with Gnome Terminal. Other solution is to split the terminal to panes, twux does it for you.

My recommendation is to use two tabs and in one of the tabs open twux panes for services.

Gnome Terminal

command: gnome-terminal

twux

It is a terminal multiplexer. Allows to split the terminal window to several terminal panes.

Commands use Control b in Windows embedded Ubuntu and Command a in Mac/Linux

tmux set mouse

Create pane: Control b, then " or Control b, then % (horizontal / verical splitting)

Closing pane: Control b, then x

Closing all the twux terminals: Control b, then &
