My choice is screen on the CLI. It's an old one, but I just learned about it this year and it's been amazing helpful doing complex, long-running tasks via SSH.

In that same vein, give zellij a look! I use it pretty constantly whenever I'm sshing in a nominatim server

screen is like tmux, right? So you can split your CLI, open a new window/tab to open more Bash/Vim instances?

Yep! You can have multiple named screens, log them all individually, and they'll keep processes running even if you disconnect. Never used tmux but screen is usually installed on the systems I'm working on.

tmux is a modern screen replacement.
