There's a feature that I've discovered recently that makes vertical split a lot more useful. It's PREFIX+z. it maximises the current pane. This means you can use mouse to select-copy without spanning multiple panes. Then you can do PREFIX+z to return to panes.
> did I miss some hidden gems of either of them?
They're pretty similar. I think I moved to tmux because it was easier to get going in openbsd.
An odd advantage I've found for it - there's a great book - Pragmatic Guide to Tmux. It's very thin, yet contained all of the features I thought I wanted, and a couple of more that I didn't know about (including the z thing from above). I like books that are both thin and yet contain everything I want.
Heh. My reason from screen is the exact opposite. It's easier to be available on all servers i ever connect to... which is why i won't care for those features anytime soon.
