A terminal multiplexer let's you create "tabs" of terminal windows and will keep your session even when you log out.
Byobu is a multiplexer based on tmux which you can configure to be used automatically upon logon. Use ESC to open up some of the settings.
The default keyboard escape sequence is ctrl-a like screen but this can be changed in the settings.
here is a super basic primer: The basic keys to know are f2, f3, f4, f6, f8, and f9 f2 - spawn new tab f3 - move to previous (left) tab f4 - move to next (right) tab f6 - disconnect from byobu (and the server) f8 - rename a tab f9 - configuration menu (also has a basic help guide)
tmux is a powerful terminal multiplexer. The default escape sequence is ctrl-b.
screen is a simple multiplexer. The default escape sequence is ctrl-a.
