I do something very similar, but take a slightly different approach. I think of 
it as "zooming" in on a pane. So if I have a window set up, I'll zoom a pane to 
break it out on its own, then return it to where it was. I got this from the 
tmux book but adapted it to be more resilient to window/pane switches.

I too am curious if there are better ways to do the things I'm doing. You 
mentioned using a shared memory server, I'm not familiar w/ that, do you have 
an example?

Thanks,

Aaron
