Terminal Multiplexers
A terminal multiplexer splits one terminal into several sessions, windows and panes, and keeps them running after the connection drops. GNU Screen arrived in 1987 and tmux followed in 2007.
The common uses are long running jobs over SSH, side by side layouts for editing and testing, sessions shared between two people, and saved workspaces that come back after a reboot. Newer multiplexers add scripting, plugins, per pane recording and session replay.
