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.

Setting Up a Better tmux Configuration

tmux is a beast of a tool that I found to be indispensable for my personal developer workflow, but there are a few things that I have added to my tmux configuration to enhance the out-of-the-box experience.

I started using screen a few years ago and when it was a primary tool at my work place. While it's not something I use all the time these days, it is super useful for certain situations. I haven't really fooled around with tmux at all but I understand the basic idea is similar to screen. Is there any advantage to one over the other?
