I'd love it if there would be graphical frontend to tmux or screen. Something that would look very much like a terminal emulator, with tabs and splits, but backed by screen or tmux, whereby each tab or split window would be a tmux or screen window. And the awesome part is that when you're elsewhere, you could ssh in and attach to that tmux or screen session.


You can send commands to a running tmux session, eg. http://superuser.com/questions/492266/run-or-send-a-command-...

How far you take it depends on what you'd want out of such a tool. Simple "New Shell", "Close Shell" buttons would be easy; overlaying draggable partitions would be more effort, and less elegant, but still do-able.


You can do that on OS X with iTerm2 e.g.: http://www.railsonmaui.com/blog/2014/03/11/rocking-with-tmux...
