Shpool

This is awesome! I hate the way tmux hijacks so much of my terminal's behavior (scrollback, seaching with escape-/, etc.) and I've been looking for something like this that will…

This looks awesome, what a great simple idea. I like tmux, but native smooth scrolling is so much better. So is searching, copy and pasting. Is it tested on macOS? Ready for use…

I like it. Recently, I realized that I’m looking for tools that are doing one thing well. It looks like such tool and I will give it a try

> The biggest advantage of this approach is that `shpool` does not break native scrollback or copy-paste. tmux/screen do not break copy-paste. And that tmux/screen have their own…

I always found tmux and screen clunky to use when all I wanted was the persistence so this project is right up my alley.

It's definitely not a complete alternative, but a surprising number of tmux users are only in it for the session persistence. We did a little internal (criminally underpowered…

The thing is that without hijacking it and passing it through, you can't have nice things like handling resizes, supporting attaching with multiple terminal emulators, or…

I’m not sure what the popular use case is for multiple connections to one multiplexer. But, two (niche seeming) ones could be: if you have a desktop, you want to be able to SSH…

You can definitely use it in production, it is deployed internally at Google and we have a bunch of users. It doesn’t currently work on MacOS, but one of my colleagues is…

I'd love to try this, but most of the places that I would want to use it are servers, and the rust requirements are way beyond where debian-stable lives. Too much hassle to muck…

Not sure, if it's a bug, but it eats 1.4G memory after running find for a few seconds, detaching, re-attaching and running find again. ``` Active: active (running) since Fri…

You definitely don't need the in-memory terminal emulator to handle resizes or allow attaching with multiple local terminal emulators, since dtach does both and does not have an…

Or one person ssh'ing to the same remote from two or more devices. If I don't feel like sitting in the office (desktop) and grab the laptop and go to the sitting room or back…

Looks nice. One feature I'd like is a read-only mode. Sometimes I want to execute a long running process and be able to just watch it run without risking that I hit Ctrl C by…

what is going on with this submodule URI? https://github.com/shell-pool/shpool/blob/v0.6.1/.gitmodules#L3 I'm guessing based on the Change-Id in its commit message…

Why is this better then the old school "screen"?

This is more of a `screen` replacement than a `tmux` replacement, yeah? Was hopeful for an actual replacement (no, not iterm) to tmux.

How could this be a tmux alternative if it only provides session persistence? I use tmux mostly for layout (tiles, multiple windows, etc.) and not for session persistence…

"The main way that shpool differs from tmux is that tmux is a terminal multiplexer which necessarily means that it offers session persistence features, while shpool only aims to…

There's also the longstanding option dtach, which similarly seems to be a lightweight re-attachable way to run a program. https://github.com/crigler/dtach For a while I was…

No mention of screen? I'm too old.

screen is lightwight tmux alternative

I think you would love zellij[1]. Go check it out, it is awesome. 1: https://zellij.dev/

Recently learned about Zellij and it replaced my tmux usage.

Unbundling tmux is a great concept! Other tools that can overlap in use case are EternalTerminal and mosh which provide sessions that survive disconnects.

This is absolutely awesome. For ages I have needed an alternative to mosh that did not require UDP -- I run every outbound connection over Tor, so I only have TCP transport…

This seems to suffer the same problem as abduco, which is, you better be reconnecting from the same terminal (don't change your termcap). Fine if working from a single machine. I…
