tmux
I’ve been using the default tmux 1.8.x on many Linux servers simply out of the habit that you’re not always allowed to install software from sources.

So it was amazing to discover quite a few improvements in tmux that happened since that rather old version.

I have installed tmux using Homebrew and immediately noticed a really cool thing: using Meta+s key to select a session with tmux windows now shows previews!
This is how it looks – both compact and at the same time informative enough to get an idea if that’s the session you’re looking for:

I think there’s special commands (shortcuts) for operating in this preview mode, but that’s something for another post – must learn these myself first!
