Heyho Joseph, for local multiplexing I use tabbed, since its keybindings are way easier to use (mod+BLA instead of mod+prefixkey, then BLA). For remote multiplexing I use tmux since it is mostly available on those systems and tmux is easier than opening up another ssh connection even with "ControlMaster auto". Scrollback I don't use as normal user, I just learned to use less for things which do not fit on one screen page. For root however I use tmux for it's scrollback (and multiplexing, no need to become root multiple times) feature, since there might be some unexpectedly long output on e.g. package updates, which I would want to scroll back to and I'm too lazy to always use less as root to be prepared for all corner-cases. --Markus
