screen or tmux or byobu all help in screen multiplexing. byobu stands out in its ease of use. Start byobu by simply typing:

  byobu

and then work using following shortcuts:

F1

Help

F2

Create new window

F8

Set name for current window

F6

Detach from byobu

Alt-left-arrow

To go to window on left

Alt-right-arror

To go to window on right

If we 'exit' all running windows then byobu will stop.

After detach we can resume running byobu screens again by simply typing 'byobu'.

byobu-ctrl-a

When we use Ctrl+A for first time byobu gives choice between Screen style Ctrl+A and Emacs style Ctrl+A (Go to begining of line). If accidentally we choose wrong option we can always change the selection by running:

byobu-ctrl-a

and changing our choice
