Ask HN: Is there an easy way to attach notes to each pane in tmux (or screen)

1 points by soulbadguy 9y ago ↗ HN

I am heavily multitasking (as a way to hide the latency caused by ridiculously long compile/test cycles) using multiple tmux sessions and panes. I find myself constantly trying to remember what i was doing in each pane so i am looking for an easy way to attach a note/memo to each pane.

You can set the name of a window using the comma (control-b ,) I often do this to keep things straight. Harder to do this by pane though. But I rarely find myself doing more than ten things at once.
