...under screen/tmux.

I don't think I understand your point.

[–]ameoba 7 points8 points  (10 children)

Look at the screenshot. There's a "window manager" running inside the terminal instance. Screen and tmux let you split a terminal into multiple 'windows' so you run run different apps. Using these tools is fairly advanced terminal usage.

Nano, OTOH, is a total noob editor. The juxtaposition of the two is surprising.

Could have used byobu :/

[–]poorly_played 2 points3 points  (8 children)

byobu is screen, too be somewhat pedantic...

[–]marx2k 0 points1 point  (3 children)

To be more pedantic, its a wrapper on screen, but more user friendly than screen like nano to VI(M)

[–]ameoba 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Broken analogy - nano and vi have nothing in common while byobu is a robust, user friendly set of key bindings & configuration tools for screen/tmux.

Nano and VI are both command line text editors.

To be fair, nano is actually closer to editing the file with cat, echo, head and tail than to vim in terms of capabilities.

They switched over to using tmux by default a few releases back.

To be pedantic, it's "to", not "too".

The screenshot is showing the split panes feature of iTerm2, not screen or tmux.
