is there a tool like tmux, but for people who aren't unix wizards that can memorize a thousand magic key combinations?
@hazelnoot@enby.life screen exists. No idea if it is any simpler.
I thinktmux also has a button for showing the most common key combinations (but i forgot which one)
@tay@transfem.social I've used screen, but I understand it even less than tmux 
@hazelnoot@enby.life @tay@transfem.social tmux's selling point is basically "it's like screen but better", which says a lot about screen. (also the keyboard shortcuts are nearly identical, except tmux uses Ctrl+b where screen uses Ctrl-a)
For what it's worth, Ctrl+b ? will display a list of shortcuts. Another possible alternative is kitty, a terminal emulator that can do a lot of the same stuff as tmux, with the catch that it's intended for running locally and not remotely over an ssh connection.
@minneyar @hazelnoot @tay kitty term does have fairly good ssh support now

@budsofstone@computerfairi.es @hazelnoot@enby.life @tay@transfem.social It is capable of directly logging into a remote host, but the one thing it can't do (and the one thing that screen/tmux are indispensable for, IMO) is being able to detach from and reattach to remote sessions. It's incredibly useful to be able to start a job remotely and disconnect from it but still later be able to reattach to control it or monitor its terminal output; or if I'm on an unreliable connection that experiences random disconnects, it's nice to be able to just reconnect and resume where I was.
And if I'm on a really unreliable connection, I generally prefer to use mosh rather than ssh, but mosh has the downside of not providing a scrollback buffer, and that's another thing a remote tmux session can do that kitty can't.
@minneyar @hazelnoot @tay oh I didn't know that, its very good to know thank you 
I really should try out tmux
