Sounds like youāve given a lot of thought the whole workflow and safety issues and such.
I hope the final version has you in a Picard costume the whole time because that would be awesome.
I had a Star Trek uniform once. We decided to have a party one of those times some crackpot group proclaimed that the world was going to end. We figured we might as well have a nice time before it did.
So the dress-up theme was just āthe thing youād always wanted to beā, because this is your last chance. 
You have to make money some how. JD systems donāt grow on trees.
I know, eh. I think I discovered this once when I installed a new distro and the Function Lock happened to be off.
That is ā I believe what youāre referring to is the equivalent of turning off Function Lock on a PC keyboard[1]?
Itās so nice to have dedicated keys for things. It makes my laptop feel a little more like an airplane cockpit.
Once you get used to it, itās no problem to hold the fn key when wanting to use the function printed on the key[2]. My āvolumeā keys are used in non-function mode to create new tmux windows, and navigate between them. And f9 is mapped to :write in vim, and also exits isert mode if applicable. Itās so nice to have a single key for that.
Itās so meta that to turn function lock on and off, I have to use the Fn key:
Fn+Esc. ā©ļøItās less confusing than switching trackpad scroll directions. I still insist the screen is a viewport that I direct with my mouse, and not a piece of paper that I swipe up and down. But even this I can get used to, whenever I need to do some sysadmin on my wifeās computer. ā©ļø
Ooh I should assign some F keys to tmux! I never remember how it works and have the āinterruptā key set to backtick currently.
Whatās your setup for inspiration? Iād like to be better at tmux.
Hereās my tmux.conf. I donāt pretend to understand tmux, and I donāt expect I ever will, although this tutorial gives me a bit of hope.
Those github.com/tmux-plugins plugins are pretty interesting. tmux-continuum and tmux-resurrect are pretty handy. I donāt know why Iām not using them now. Probably because I couldnāt understand them.

I had an oh my god moment with tmux when I was visually screen-sharing my remote Mac. From this laptop I was tmuxād in ā actually my shortcut to ssh to all of my remotes is now a tmux command, so Iām never only sshād, Iām always tmuxād. Hence wanting to learn it better.
Anyway, Iām in a terminal in my Mac and I think, might be better if I do this on the desktop of the remote, that Iām already screen-sharing to. So I open a terminal there, and fire up tmux. So now itās running, same session, on both. One on the left, one on the right.
Imagine my surprise when I typed in one window and saw it literally mirrored, as I typed, on the other! That was the duh moment, the realisation that it truly makes no difference whose terminal window Iām using. Itās 
the same.
This goes as far as the smaller of the two windows drawing a little terminal border ā¦ wait Iām just gonna replicate this because itās too hard to explain.
How cool is that!
I know, itās magic!
You may enjoy what pico.sh has to show. I mean, you can do multicast realtime prodcasting, through ssh!!! Most of this is doable with plain ssh, but I find it so cool that people are actually offering infrastructure to make it all easier to use.
FWIW this makes me remember the days when we abused it for pair programming sessions via ssh.
