alt Hacker NewsOnce I discovered window managers and graphics, I stopped using half-baked features to emulate them in the terminal.
I use tmux to reattach to programs after the network connection dies, and not really anything else. I would welcome a version of it that stripped out everything but that, and just replayed the last few pages of scrollback on reattach.

I'm in the same boat and https://github.com/neurosnap/zmx has been working very well for me.

Like `dtach`?
Check out shpool, whose tagline is "Think tmux, then aim... lower" :-)
Unless I'm misreading this, I would also offer `mosh` as a recommendation. Has been nothing but excellent for my use cases.
I use iTerm2 with tmux CC mode. Works great and gives native tabs and panes.
Using mosh would help specifically with the network reconnection piece.
window manager like what though?
Mac WM is horrible, I use aerospace to make it tolerable
I use tmux for everything because I work in a headless VM where a WM isn't available.
