I'm intrigued by these TUI posts I see, but I'm wondering how everyone uses more then one at a time. Do you all keep multiple terminal windows or tabs open with these apps all day or just open these TUI apps when needed?
 help



I keep htop and some vim buffers open regularly, and I keep some tools open while a work on a project e.g. https://github.com/Canop/bacon.

But everything else is opened as needed. Especially toys like this weather thing.

EDIT - I use a 4k monitor and the window manager niri, so it's easy to fit multiple terminals on a screen


I'm already running tmux. Opening a new window is easy.

iTerm2 on macOS, I must have at least 8 tabs open all day.

Not sure how else it would be now that I use claude code and codex so much.
