I do like minimal stuff so I have avoided most of the terminal with tabs and fancy “features”. Turns out, all I want, I can get from tmux.

A few tips from my usage

• divide usage of session per context: new-session
• inside same context, use windows: new-window or prefix+c
• Use list-window (prefix+w) or list-session (prefix+s) to navigate

If you are a dwm user, I have just set up to open the tmux directly

static const char *cmd_term[] = { "st", "-e", "tmux", NULL };
// inside Key
{ MODKEY, XK_Return, spawn, {.v = cmd_term } }, // terminal

This is interesting because everytime you open the terminal a new session will pop. Hate it or love it.

If like me, you don’t mind how pretty the modeline looks in your emacs, then you can set it pretty easy.

Why would you want to do this? Well, what happens is that I have a pretty small screen in my monitor and if I split vertically, I lose some useful information like the time on a task.

Now to the how:

(setq-default mode-line-format
            (list "%e"
                  mode-line-remote
                  mode-line-modified
                  mode-line-front-space
                  mode-line-frame-identification

                  mode-line-buffer-identification "   "

                  mode-line-position project-mode-line

                  "  "
                  mode-line-misc-info
                  mode-line-end-spaces))

Not sure what all that is? Checking the docs in emacs is ez ;]

Org-mode is not for everybody, I think. However, I do think that org-mode is for anybody that is willing to learn enough elisp to shape the desired workflow.
