Care to share the config ?

[EDIT]: and on the topic of modern terminal emulator vs screen/tmux type solutions ... there is of course some feature overlap for which modern terminal emulators are clearly better (my opinion), such as window / pane management.

However, screen and tmux are simply amazing for long-term backgrounding of tasks and/or sessions.

There are some "daemon"-type tasks that I almost exclusively run under screen, only moving them to a systemd-type session control system long after they've been properly debugged and tested.

There are also some semi-permanently running shell sessions that keep alive with screen on remote servers to instantly recover full context of what I was doing there, sometimes weeks apart (old brains become forgetful and need crutches).

Are modern term emulator like wezterm capable of pulling that off these days ?

My config is a little overwhelming, but you'll find your answers here: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ssh.html
