As we saw in the past chapter, tmux is great for long lived SSH sessions and for pair programming with its own core functionality. However, as much as tmux is a fantastic development tool on its own, there are still some bits of functionality that it lacks. For example, as we saw back in Chapter 5, Diving Deeper, starting a tmux session with defaults is a bit difficult.
Thankfully, like many open source applications, there are many third-party tools that have sprung up to help fill those gaps.
In this last chapter, we will explore some of the best tools to augment tmux and make the tmux experience even more awesome. We will touch on the following topics/tools:
Using tmux with the OS X Pasteboard
tmux configuration from the maximum-awesome project, by Square
Using tmuxinator to make session management easier
Using wemux to ease the multiuser experience
