tilix

I migrated over to Gnome and Tilix as a tiling terminal emulator. I find its a little easier to deal with than a tiling WM. https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix

Probably, are you going to start on that? It's not like someone's holding a gun to your head and telling you to use it. You can do it yourself, wait, or not use it. There's so many options for this situation. Here's the code: https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/ Another cool trick is to use zero trust mentality and get the secrets to the box without having to copy/paste/type/view them through your terminal emulator.

Another idea is a tiling terminal program. I just started using Tilix. https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix It has panes, sessions, windows. Customizing is a lot easier if you're not already familiar with tmux. The one thing you get with tmux that's killer is if your shell dies (remote disconnect, you have to logout, etc) the processes in tmux keep running.

til: terminix (gnome terminal emulator with tiling). Pretty neat. Interesting compromise for those (like me) who might like some features of a tiling window-manager, but prefer Gnome. Oh, and other really neat feature: "terminix --quake" (https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/wiki/Quake-Mode)
