It is a VERY useful tool that I have used every day for at least 3 years.
There are two really annoying niggles that I have with it, but both I have solved by using a Screen session on the server:
- Scrolling turns out to be very important to most workflows.
The choice to start mosh in Append mode (with chance of output corruption) rather than replace mode would be a cool thing.
- There is no easy way to pick up a session again when the client dies. I understand that this is an intended security "feature" though.
But beyond this it is a truly fabulous tool that has saved me many many hours of frustration.

Thank you, this is better, but if I cat a 1000 line file I can only scroll up about 150 lines, I think this has something to do with the speed of the output(?); how does this work under the hood?
