Byobu

After GNU screen and TMUX, I'm learning how to use Byobu which is a terminal multiplexer and easy to use, Byobu is used to have multiple windows, consoles and split panes within the windows and will also show the status badges and notifications on the terminal.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work well with Putty. Some shortcuts are not working even with some tweaking.
