I suppose your mirror pull on a cron job?

How much space does it take to have a full mirror?

If it works for you. I have heard the advantage of screen is that you can bind directly to a Pty/serial. Would be nice for me since I sometimes needs to connect as serial instead of SSH.

I find kakoune scheme better than vim, and helix got a better default package of it. (Basically it reverse Vim’s action noun, into selection action. So that you may have multi-cursors, and see your selection before deleting it).

The downside is that GUI program may propose a VIM mode, but not (yet?) an kak/hx mode. Sad because to me it looks much more like a GUI does things.

I would recommand zellij instead of tmux or screen. For the simple fact that by default, shortcuts are sensible and the most important ones are always on screen.

It is not as venerable as the other 2, but much more easy to get into.
