learning tmux or its derivatives really worth the efforts!

I really like your presentation style. You give a lot of information quickly but you are very thorough. Everything felt understandable and I felt engaged the whole time. I also highly appreciate the Table of Contents.

thanks for this you really go over the essentials while being both verbose and easy to comprehend. Very rare combination honestly.

Hello from Brasil, thanks for the time you expend with your videos teaching us, I learn a lot about scala with them. Will be nice if you show a little about debugging scala. Thx again and a very nice new year for you, cheers.

33:52 I also realized that if the $VISUAL and/or $EDITOR environment variables are configured then SHIFT+F7 will not only copy the history into the $BYOBU_RUN_DIR/printscreen file but it will also open it with the configured editor which is awesome! Here is an example configuration. Put the following into your ~/.profile

export VISUAL="/usr/bin/vim"
export EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim"

It makes me to remember I used this many years ago, then, gradually I forgot them. think about it, why we want to use so many sessions/terminals within one window?

[r.in.shibuya]

Can all the windows in the session be saved and after the host machine reboots, restored? The session with all saved windows (byobu tabs). "byobu-layout [save| restore]" did not automatically restore all those byobu tabs (windows) I had named. I lost all active ssh sessions in my splits.

Another thing I do not like is the ligature. it does not make sense other than confuse people or show off. There are a lot of new stuff, those session ligature are legacy dead end stuff.

Not really the topic of the video but how did you setup your VM? Like if I use VirtualBox it takes over the keys when it's fullscreen so I can't change Windows virtual desktops. What is your solution?
