Ubuntu essential for server-side only multi-tasking in terminal with byobu

F8 name your current Byobu session.
F2 will create a new tab
F3 will cycle back through current tabs

CTRL+SHIFT+F2 will create a new session.
ALT+UP and ALT+DOWN will scroll through your sessions.
F6 will detach your current Byobu session.
SHIFT+F6 will detach (but not close) Byobu, and will maintain your SSH connection to the server. You can get back to Byobu with the byobu command.
ALT+F6 will detach all connections to Byobu except for the current one.

Panes are super tight for the multi-tasking ubuntu-head

SHIFT+F2 creates a horizontal pane; CTRL+F2 creates a vertical one.
SHIFT+F3/F4 switches between panes.
CTRL+F3/F4 moves the current pane up or down, respectively.
SHIFT+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN resizes the current pane.
SHIFT+F11 toggles a pane to fill the whole window temporarily.
ALT+F11 splits a pane into its own new window permanently.
