Re: [Hampshire] Tmux - the terminal multiplexer

2013-04-15 Thread Michael O'Sullivan
Hi there,

I've been using it for a while, it is indeed grand. What are the changes
with v 1.8 you find so helpful?

Cheers!

Michael

 Does anyone here use tmux (as opposed to screen) for terminal

 especially v1.8 which was released just a couple of weeks back. I no longer
 use tabs/multiple terminals - everything on my system goes through one
 single terminal window via tmux sessions, windows and panes; even when I'm
 working locally only.

 I'm aware that screen can do some things that tmux can't - I'd love to
 hear from anyone who uses these screen features so I can learn what I'm
 missing out on!

 If anyone would be interested in hearing about how I use tmux then I'd be
 happy to write something up?

 Cheers,

 Benjie.

Thanks Benjie, that sounds worth a go!

 There's zoom mode, which is really good if you use a lot of splits - you
 can do {prefix}z to zoom one pane up to full screen, then {prefix}z to
 unzoom it again.

 Also there's text reflowing now (which screen has had for ages) - if you
 resize a pane then the text inside it will reflow properly. This makes
 zooming much more useful!

 Also mouse support is improved - there used to be an issue (at least for
 me) where scrolling up a buffer worked fine, but scrolling back down would
 jump to the bottom after a few clicks of the mouse wheel; but now it works
 how you'd expect. (Yes, I do use the mouse for some things, sometimes!)

 (Theres more changes too, but these are the ones that stuck out for me.)

Re: [Hampshire] [Surrey] Aldershot Hackspace?

 Guys and girls,

 I am glad there is alot of interest in this - so to some of the
 questions raised.

 £20/month was an out of the air figure just used and is NOT indicative
 of the actual cost
 it WILL require some individuals to pay over the odds just to set this
 up, but i am sure we can do it!

 so memberships will probably be more inline with what was suggested
 being much less than £20/give what you can

 Yes we know about reading hackspace and yes its only 20 miles from
 aldershot BUT its too far for alot of people to get to from the south
 west
 http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_Hacker_Spaces check the map here
 and you will see a hackspace in aldershot would cover a large area!

 I can not see a reason that LUG meetings could not be held there
 As for minimum age again I have no idea on that, this was just to
 gauge interest in if myself and the other parties should bother
 looking into this further

 if the price was a more sedate £5 or at most £10 would more people
 consider joining?

 I much prefer the thumb to middle-finger control as I found the finger
 control fired-off some RSI in the back of my hand.

 Shame they are right handed

I have one of those, and experienced the same thumb pain Paul Stimpson
reported. I switched to a Kingston Orbit (not mentioned so far I
think), which comes with optional wrist support. It has a built-in
rotatable cuff that acts as a mouse wheel, and it's ambidextrous. I
feel more adept at positioning the cursor with it too. Amazon link

dvtm is a good alternative too, and feels a little more natural for
vim users (the default key binding creates a clash with ^g though).

 That and, subsequently, screen.

 Screen is something which I heard like 3 years back but never tried it
 , now I absolutely love , can't live without GNU Screen !

 One cool thing which screen allows is to log on irc forever !
