[EDIT]: and on the topic of modern terminal emulator vs screen/tmux type solutions ... there is of course some feature overlap for which modern terminal emulators are clearly better (my opinion), such as window / pane management.
However, screen and tmux are simply amazing for long-term backgrounding of tasks and/or sessions.
There are some "daemon"-type tasks that I almost exclusively run under screen, only moving them to a systemd-type session control system long after they've been properly debugged and tested.
There are also some semi-permanently running shell sessions that keep alive with screen on remote servers to instantly recover full context of what I was doing there, sometimes weeks apart (old brains become forgetful and need crutches).
Are modern term emulator like wezterm capable of pulling that off these days ?
Care to share the config ?
