I hardly reboot a machine unless I am intending to, but there are plugins for tmux for this too.

Also check out tmux-resurrect to save and restore tmux window/pane config including working directories and scrollback. It can also restore running programs, which is sometimes a reasonable thing to do.

FWIW, this is available in tmux as a plugin. Very convenient and highly recommended.

I haven't tried Zellij, but it looks interesting. This is a great feature, and I think incorporating it into the base software reflects good UX priorities.

I use the `tmux-resurrect` plugin (https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect) to restore my tmux session after a reboot. I highly recommend it.

Look into tmux-resurrect[0]. It allows you to save and restore tmux sessions, and an accept-list of running processes within those sessions. Ideally, you'd get the tmux session into the state you want re: windows, CWDs, running processes, etc., save it, and then restore from that session in the future.

Seems like a great idea. Lack of persistence bugs me about my i3 / tmux / emacs setup.

Ask HN: App for quickly opening all files and windows necessary for a project | Nov 2019
I don't know the app you're talking about, but I solve this using persistent tmux sessions [1]. I use (Neo)Vim as my text editor, so it's just part of the tmux session. Each project has its own session.

I am aware that this doesn't really help you as your question seems to suggest you are not using an editor that can be run in the terminal.

No. Mosh handles automatic reconnection (and a bunch of other stuff, like predictive typing so you don't notice flickering or slow connections, and performance improvements); tmux runs a persistent process on the remote side that preserves the state of your sessions.

Using mosh + tmux allows you to have both a) state persisted on the remote side, and b) automatic reconnects if your internet drops, or if you change connections. It's a very good combination, if you can handle some of the drawbacks of mosh (no in-terminal scrolling, mostly, but you can outsource that to tmux as well at the cost of a little lag).

A good additional piece of the puzzle is tmux-resurrect [1], which saves and automatically restores a lot of your tmux state to the filesystem so it's proof against power loss and system restarts/relogins. It persists window arrangements and similar, though it obviously can't save everything--the state of programs that were open can't be programmatically preserved (though that's getting closer and closer to seamless with the advent of things like CRIU).

The combination of mosh + tmux + tmux-resurrect is a very popular one and creates a very resilient system for "don't make me think; just log me in to my usual environment"-type systems, or environments where internet connectivity is spotty or the tmux server environment is unreliable or prone to rebooting.

I suggest mentioning tmux-resurrect: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect as this has made me far less grumpy about restarting a machine with many active tmux sessions. Save/Reload all your sessions, windows, panes, and layouts with a single shortcut key.

What you are looking for sounds a lot like TMUX + Bash (scripted tmux setup). Then you can run that inside of iTerm.

Tmux supports tabs and dynamic splits nicely via ncurses.

Also check out tmux ressurect [1] for saving tmux session persistence.
