If you're on a Mac, try tmux -CC with iTerm2. You get tmux goodness like multiple panes, persistent sessions, etc. But you also get native scrolling, native copy and paste, etc. It's what makes tmux usable for me.
> Frankly, it's kind of stunning to me that one terminal app on macOS has more useful features than the plethora of me-too terminals on Linux
If by "useful features" you mean intercepting tmux output and having it integrate with the terminal, then no. But more generally, I think the closest thing to iTerm2 on Linux is Tilix [1].
Well on a related matter I've been searching for years for a Linux implementation of the bog standard terminal window on my Macbook, that persists scrollback and history for all open tabs during reboots etc.
Such an enormously usable thing, why isn't that readily available on Linux?
Iterm2 is the number one Software driving my Mac productivity besides OS X itself.
So much of it is lost because work machines have been either windows or Ubuntu. I tried a few things but nothing comes even close to the level of overview and speed you have with iterm. In the end I usually end up using multiple windows and too much mouse..
The real purpose of mosh is to make remote sessions usable over extremely poor connections (i.e. high latency and loss). EternalTerminal doesn't make your session work nicely from an airplane like mosh does.
