I was on crack when I posted my last blog about running terminal through Vim. Terminal through Vim?! I must have been mad... it's all that crack I've been smoking. I realised the madness soon after the post, so I switched to GNU Screen. That lasted 2 hours - it was horrible trying to cope with the config file. I finally worked out how to rebind "Ctrl-a-| (vertical screen split - what a daft combination of keys. Far too much crack knocking about!) focus screen" to Ctrl-a-v, but by which time I was fed up. My next port of call was tmux, which to be fair is pretty awesome. It has great and easy configuration, very simple to rebind vertical split to something nice, and it doesn't have an annoying welcome message everytime it starts (cough, cough screen). But, it wasn't XMonad.
So, here we are. Split screens and happy times. Nothing can quite beat using a mouse to move between far-away screens. Mod+space and Mod+shift+enter. The fact that my menu bar is still Unity's.. ah yes, Unity. One day I shall completely remove you from my computer, but until then, you are still in the love-triangle with me and XMonad.
And I shall never smoke crack again.
