Tmux is so scriptable and customizable. Thats my favorite part of any terminal application really. My favorite shortcuts are my hotkeys for splitting, windowing, and navigating new windows. I closely mirrored the existing commands with alt instead of c-b.
alt+s - split
alt+v - vsplit
alt+c - create new window
alt+n - next window
alt+p - previous window
alt+[hjkl] - go to [left,lower,upper, or right] split
This makes it super quick to have vim open and gatsbt develop like you mentioned to jump between running servers, a shell, and vim.
Sadly copy and paste support on wsl is atrocious. Makes it hard to paste in something a team mate sent in chat.
oooh, I like that alt thing! That didn't even occur to me, I got so used to the Ctrl+a mapping that many tutorials suggested when I started early on that I can't imagine doing things any different way.
Yeah copy/paste no matter where is a pain in the ass. I'm thinking of using the tmux-yank plugin that's supposed to handle copy/paste on all platforms including via SSH and WSL.

Two keystrokes is ok for single commands, but multiple in a row is a pain. For instance checking on a server running in an adjacent window and getting back is a simple alt+n+n.
My first post on Dev walks through replicating my alt key setup from tmux to vscode dev.to/waylonwalker/keyboard-drive.... I honestly use vscode mostly for copy and paste. Every time I go to use tmux I end up pairing with a team mate an thier like what is this you cant even paste properly here. I have my hotkeys setup so similarly that I can switch between them comfortably.
