I stuck with screen for many years, been using it since the early 90s, but finally made the switch about a year ago...finally got sick of screen's bugs, quirks, piss-poor unicode support, and effective abandonment as an actively-developed project. it took me about half an hour to configure it so that the transition was non-traumatic. after a few days, i wouldn't even consider switching back, any more than i'd switch back from mutt to elm. As I did with screen, I've mapped tmux's escape key to ^K. I rarely use that for anything else but I use ^A all the time -- ^A is move to start of line in bash/readline, an extremely stupid key for screen to hijack as its default control prefix. tmux's default of ^B is better, but I've got used to ^K over the years. Unlearning that would be too painful. > Virsh has some benefits, but so far it hasn't seemed worth the pain. for just "virsh console", no not worth it. for everything else - virsh and libvirt are definitely worth it. craig -- craig sanders <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
