Hi there,
I recently saw that emacs can replace tmux, but I haven’t found complete information about it.
I’ve used tmux inside a single vterm buffer for several years now, and together with vterm-toggle to toggle buffer visibility with a single keypress, it’s been a nearly perfect setup (apart from vterm-toggle messing up winner-mode’s undo history). I remapped the default tmux operator key to ‘;’ so it kinda logically fits with devil-mode, which I’ve been using for a few months.
I’ve also augmented vterm with custom functions, such as I can quickly cd to another dir using ivy completion in the minibuffer, which is much faster than using shell’s integrated completion system.

I’ve tried to adopt tmux in my workflow but it’s just so much more convenient to do it from Emacs, especially with vterm. I think you can create multiple vterm instances with C-u M-x vterm but that might be something I added myself, can’t remember.
Is there anything I’m missing out on by not using tmux?
Use multi-vterm: https://github.com/suonlight/multi-vterm
Anything else is a waste of time since vterm is the only decent terminal for Emacs.
What’s wrong with eat? Not a rhetorical question; I don’t know, but I keep thinking of migrating to it.
eat
Doesn’t look like its on GitHub or MELPA:

My opinion still stands.
I love this post, exactly what I’m looking for. I mostly work on remote servers and need to debug python and needless to say, it’s a real pain, I did a workaround of using pdb for this case. Nevertheless, using tmux inside emacs feels rly clunky.
