Try and 12 months ago

A lot of American commenters here are very much misunderstanding how "try and" is used in British English.

It genuinely is used essentially equivalently to "try to". Maybe there is some very slight semantic difference, but it's essentially the same.

You can’t change the order.

You are confusing semantics with grammatical correctness. In both your examples, they would still be grammatically correct with reversed order.

(I would actually suggest they are still semantically reasonable too, but that's besides the point).

Customizing tmux 12 months ago

okay, maybe not sessions

Okay, but sessions are one of the best things about tmux.

Sessions aside, in my opinion tmux's flow is just better than terminal emulators I've tried. It slots into my brain in a way no terminal emulator's tabbing support ever has, and I have never found a terminal emulator who supported keybindings in such a sophisticated and seamless manner as tmux does.

I also concur with other commenters, who mention that having uniform multiplexing of shell windows between local and remote environments is super useful for muscle memory.
