#Linux question: What's a good way to mirror a single #terminal session across two windows? Or show the same terminal on both the internal and external screen?
I use this when teaching. So far I start a tmux session and join with two terminals, one on the big external screen and one on my laptop screen. But the terminal sizes don't automatically match, the "remote" one gets a shaded-out cursor, and it's too easy for me to accidentally break during the session.
Any better ideas out there?
