Once you have automatic saving it’s tough to give it up. Read on to see how (or if) we addressed the above challenges.
MacVim keymapping not fully supported in terminal Vim. Automatic saving within MacVim was lost. The occasional switch to terminal-based Vim within tmux and a bunch of tmux terminal panes was the most challenging aspect of using tmux as part of our development stack. Most of our in-office developers only used tmux when remote pairing: the majority of their development was in-person pair programming using MacVim and “normal” tabbed iTerm. The vertical display usually had the shared web browser visible since we were usually doing web development. We usually had iTerm running a shared tmux session on the large 27″ display and a desktop screen sharing session on the vertical display. We use two monitors: the iMac’s main 27″ monitor and a large (usually at least 24″) LCD rotated vertically. My personal experience was that tmux + Vim was so fast when working remotely that it was usually indistinguishable from coding locally. Might still need desktop screen sharing for GUI-based tools and tasks: shared web browser for web development, etc.ĭue to network latency GUI-based desktop screen sharing was intolerably slow for coding. Only for terminal based editors, such as Vim and Emacs. Lack of desktop friendly UX, such as mouse support, function keys, ⌘ key. Extra overhead of learning and using tmux commands. Requires ssh access and thus possibly a VPN. No extra heavyweight software: if you have tmux and ssh access you’re good to go. Some of us now use tmux even when we are not remote pairing Addictive usage model: tmux’s multiple terminal pane usage model is very handy in general. Fast! tmux has the least latency of any collaborative code editing we have used. desktop screen sharing, why and how we used it, and how we addressed the many challenges of remote pairing using tmux. Read on to learn about tmux’s advantages and disadvantages vs. 
Our large software project used tmux regularly for remote pair programming and settled on a configuration that has worked well for our team.

There is no shortage of tutorials and guides regarding how to use tmux, thus my only introduction to tmux will be this: tmux is a terminal multiplexer and supports shared terminal usage. Tmux is the cool kid on the block for remote pair programming, as long as you are using a terminal based editor such as Vim or Emacs.

Update : There is a lively discussion on Hacker News about this post in addition to the comments below. Update : We have added tmux-vim autosaving support as a Vim plugin.
