My week on TTY was interrupted by unexpected events. Daily meetings held me on X11, and the fact that my grandparents are now here stopped me from exploring a new workflow on TTY on my free time.

But I could play a bit on TTY:

Now I understand better how OpenBSD (and NetBSD) wscons(4), the console device, works. And I have now the same keymap on X11 and on the console. It's very useful, especially because my Esc and Control ksyms are assigned to different keys, to have the same keyboard map on both environments.

I tried some TUI IRC clients (I'm still using HexChat, a GTK client). I will try catgirl next. Having a GUI IRC client in a window other than XTerm allows me to assign different window management rules to the IRC window. I probably can achieve that on a TUI client running on terminal by invoking xterm with a different class, or by using a client that changes the title of the terminal emulator window.

I explored tmux. I don't know if I'll use it, however, because I'm comfortable with the window manager.
