What terminal emulators support tmux control mode?

Question

tmux has its control mode, activated with -CC, to allow the terminal emulator to control tmux. iTerm2 uses this to great effect for allowing tmux windows to appear as separate iTerm windows.

Are there other terminal emulators that support control mode? I am particularly interested in terminal emulators / SSH clients for Windows that might offer such functionality, but Linux/Unix ones are interesting as well.

Solution 1

Edit : see the other answer, give a try to EternalTerminal : It has tmux -CC support and can be installed on linux. It may not be exactly what you need though.

What you are asking does not seem to be developed on linux yet with the mainstream terminal emulators :

• Terminator has an open issue, somebody seems to be working on it actively : https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1301605
• Gnome-terminal doesn't seem to have any support. There is an open bug in upstream bugzilla: GNOME/vte#2177 - tmux integration
• Konsole also has an open bug: bug 372496 - Support tmux control mode
• Eterm: Nothing.
• Rxvt: Nothing.
• List not exhaustive; comments welcome.

Another idea would be to run your dear Iterm2 mac binary in your Linux environment. But the solutions currently available will not support it :

• Darling ? It uses a Wine-like approach but "At this point, does not yet run OS X application with a GUI" http://www.darlinghq.org/
• Maloader ? "Running all Mac binaries isn't my goal. Only command line tools such as compiler tool chain can be executed by this loader" https://github.com/shinh/maloader#readme

Solution 2

EternalTerminal has tmux -CC support and connection persistence.

Have you ever succeeded in using iterm2 + ssh + tmux -CC? If so, could you possibly edit the question (or a pastebin somewhere) with details?

[Admin]

@bmargulies I just run tmux -CC in my SSH session from iterm2 and it works.

Cygwin would be a possibility?

There's a feature request for ConEmu, too: github.com/Maximus5/ConEmu/issues/578

While this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.

Seems like Hyper (hyper.is) will get proper support once this plugin is finalized: github.com/MisterTea/hyper-htm.

Unless I am missing something EternalTerminal is a remote shell ala ssh, not a gui terminal emulator ala Konsole, Terminator, etc.

As I commented in the other answer, EternalTerminal doesn't seem to be a terminal emulator, and doesn't supply what OP is asking for.
