dvtm

dvtm brings the concept of tiling window management, popularized by X11-window managers like dwm, to the console. As a console window manager, it tries to make it easy to work with multiple console based programs like vim, mutt, cmus, or irssi. dvtm is intended to be used where X11 isn't available or over SSH. In conjunction with dtach, it can be seen as a lightweight alternative to GNU screen.

      Release Notes: Window content buffering upon resize: dvtm saves the window content upon window shrinkage and restores it once the window gets bigger again. This improves usability quite a bit. Also featured in this release is multiplexing mode, in which keystrokes will be sent to all non-minimized windows.
