Use tmux

Install tmux; look at wiki for details.

Configure tmux:

• set border color to red (to see what pane is active right now);
• navigate with h-j-k-l between panes

See .tmux.conf:

set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
set -g pane-active-border-fg red
set -g pane-active-border-bg red

bind-key -r C-h resize-pane -L 5
bind-key -r C-j resize-pane -D 5
bind-key -r C-k resize-pane -U 5
bind-key -r C-l resize-pane -R 5

bind-key -r M-h resize-pane -L
bind-key -r M-j resize-pane -D
bind-key -r M-k resize-pane -U
bind-key -r M-l resize-pane -R

bind-key -r h select-pane -L
bind-key -r j select-pane -D
bind-key -r k select-pane -U
bind-key -r l select-pane -R

bind-key -r L last-window

bind-key -r % split-window -h -c '#{pane_current_path}'
bind-key -r '"' split-window -v -c '#{pane_current_path}'
bind-key -r C new-window -c '#{pane_current_path}'

bind-key -r -n C-] copy-mode
bind-key -t emacs-copy -n C-k halfpage-up
bind-key -t emacs-copy -n C-j halfpage-down
bind-key -t emacs-copy -n k scroll-up
bind-key -t emacs-copy -n j scroll-down

Use tilda with tmux as fast and handy dropdown terminal

1. Install tilda
2. Configure tilda to use tmux as default shell.
3. Start tilda with different tmux sessions for each monitor.
4. Use F1, F2, ... to show/hide fullscreen terminals.

Write your own scripts

With macroses library you can write you own scripts.

The reasons to do it:

• automate your routines;
• write examples of using unusial soft (like local gists);
• it is a good way to learn new languages in use: write simple and useful scripts every day/week with new language.

Use vim

Just use it. Vim is awesome

Use trans: google translator CLI

Here.

Write some macroses like:

# ru
#!/bin/sh

trans -v -pager 'less -r -S' :ru "$*"

and

# en
#!/bin/sh

trans -v -pager '-less -r -S' -p :en "$*"

Use virtual desktops

I use 3x3 or 4x4. Configure shortcuts to move between them with Ctrl+Alt+h/j/k/l to make it faster. Then open every new program at separate desktop and move between desctops instead Alt+Tab.
