dvtm - dynamic virtual terminal manager
| April 8th, 2008He’s back! And with with something new/cool:dvtm || dynamic virtual terminal manager. I have looked at other character-cell based `window’ managers before, but they either a) did not work or b) took up too much screen room with needless decorations. The nice thing about dvtm is that it is small, simple, and works well under screen.
At work, I have a screen session running on my main dev server, and four dvtm’s running. This gives me the text-mode equivalent of four virtual desk-tops with different windows running at the same time so I can see what I am doing. This has been a big boon for my productivity.
The only downside is that you need to have a lot of room to make this work, so you need either big monitor ro small fonts or both. I have to settle for small (7 pt) fonts.
