* switching beyond 9 windows is painful in screen, if you ever use it.
here is another approach to this issue.
1) multiple virtual terminal sessions: i switched to tmux from
screen/byobu last year. window navigation, for me, is a critical
requirement and it is quite straightforward in tmux. the windows i
create in tmux have unique names; therefore each window is directly
addressable. i routinely run 20+ windows in tmux. new window set
creations and destructions are done with functions, so creating a new
batch of some large number of directly addressable windows is easy.
command line display of all open windows, from any window, is also a
capability i require.
2) mulptiple tabs in vim: i have run vim with 259 open tabs
simultaneously with no problems and snappy response. for navigation
among the tab pages currently displayed, i employ a homegrown function
that creates a list of each tab page currently open, and a key mapping
to switch to whatever tab page (and embedded window) that i need.
this makes working on large projects quite straightforward. moreover,
when i need to cross reference any regular expression across all open
tab pages, i have other homegrown functions that control grep sessions
across all open tabs and collate the results in a final report,
displayed in a new tab page. navigation to the relevant code portions
on any of the open tabs is handled by a key map to another function.
3) large project file sets: i maintain vim functions that serve as
main project centers for large projects. there are key files for each
project that routinely need to be accessed simultaneously, so these
functions keep a list of those critical files for each project and
open them each in separate tab pages when the project is invoked.
contact me for relevant code.
can you share the codes/steps for step 1-3?
thanks in advance.
also a bit of off-topic, I ever think of using tmux, so making working
with 2 level of windows probably easier
s1:t11 t12
s2:t21 t22
s3:t31 t32
so assuming c-a is for screen and c-b is for tmux, then:
s1(c-a 0):t11(c-b 0) t12(c-b 1)
s2(c-a 1):t21(c-b 0) t22(c-b 1)
s3(c-a 2):t31(c-b 0) t32(c-b 1)
now we have 2 level windows, 6 sessions total, and not to hard to switch
back & forth, how is it?
regards
ping
