You're right, sorry, my mistake. I realised after sending that that `tcvt` creates one long terminal as opposed to 4 terminal panes. That's useful behaviour that I'm surprised there isn't a tmux command for. I could see myself using it to monitor logs and such. I tried to whip something up using `copy-mode`, which allows the reading of another pane's history using using the flags `-t` and `-s`. I couldn't get it to work, but I'm sure it would be possible, if not easy, to make some kind of special .tmuxrc. Using tmux rather than inventing a new terminal emulator would be worth it (in my opinion) in preventing strange printing behaviour.
