That's exactly the sort of follow-the-bouncing-ball tactic I have used a
few times here and there, but I can't quite seem to form a habit out of
it. I'm a rare screen/tmux user too.
I tend to like seeing one and the other and being able to jump between
them or see them together though. So, I end up with lots of tabs in my
terminals, and separate terminals when I want to show them on screen
together.
