Just quoting from the FAQ: * How is tmux different from GNU screen? What else does it offer? tmux offers several advantages over screen: - a clearly-defined client-server model: windows are independent entities which may be attached simultaneously to multiple sessions and viewed from multiple clients (terminals), as well as moved freely between sessions within the same tmux server; - a consistent, well-documented command interface, with the same syntax whether used interactively, as a key binding, or from the shell; - easily scriptable from the shell; - multiple paste buffers; - choice of vim or emacs key layouts; - an option to limit the window size; - a more usable status line syntax, with the ability to display the first line of output of a specific command; - a cleaner, modern, easily extended, BSD-licensed codebase. Some of these (preferably not just the last!) should be chosen and added to the package description. Currently upstream considers UTF-8 support to be in need of improvement.
