I lived in terminals connected to servers in three different data centers. I had tmux sessions named by function: <code>web</code>, <code>db</code>, <code>monitoring</code>. Each one was a perfectly arranged grid of panes that survived disconnection, reboot, and the occasional 3 AM page. I didn&rsquo;t think about the prefix key any more than I thought about the spacebar. It was just how terminals worked.</p>
