If you're a vim user, another useful tmux plugin is tmux-yank, which allows you to use the keyboard to navigate through tmux's scroll-back buffer (containing output from previous commands) using vim style keybinds and select and yank text to the system clipboard.

Useful for if you want to copy error messages to the clipboard, to paste into a search engine, or into a text editor, or another application, entirely with the keyboard, without having to resort to using the mouse.

Also, there's a book I recommend, called 'tmux productive mouse free development', which has some great tips for using tmux effectively.

went down the tmux rabbit hole a while back and never looked back. persistent sessions are the best. the ngrok setup sounds solid
