tmux
tmux is a "terminal multiplexer". This application enables a
number of
terminals (or windows) to be created, accessed and controlled from a
single screen.
tmux runs as a server-client system. A server is created
automatically when necessary and holds a number of sessions, each of
which may have a number of windows linked to it.The tmux
server manages clients, sessions, windows and panes.
Any number of clients may connect to a session,
or the server may be controlled by issuing commands with tmux.
Communication takes place through a socket, by default placed in
/tmp.
tmux provides a consistent and well-documented command
interface, with the same syntax whether used interactively, as a key
binding, or from the shell. It offers a choice of vim or Emacs key
layouts.
tmux is included in the base system of OpenBSD.
