I generally use emacs and at work I use tmux for working on remote
servers. The main reason is that I can detach from the session
shutdown my laptop and continue right where I left off the next day.
I don't use any plugins or have much in my .tmux.conf. I remapped
splitting to Prefix+h and Prefix+v, and have some shortcuts for easier
movement:
# more intuitive keybindings for splitting
unbind %
bind h split-window -v
unbind '"'
bind v split-window -h
# switch windows using Alt-arrow without prefix
bind -n M-Left select-window -t:-1
bind -n M-Right select-window -t:+1
# switch panes using Shift-arrow without prefix
bind -n S-Left select-pane -L
bind -n S-Right select-pane -R
bind -n S-Up select-pane -U
bind -n S-Down select-pane -D
# move window left and right with Alt-Shift-arrow
bind-key -n M-S-Left swap-window -d -t -1
bind-key -n M-S-Right swap-window -d -t +1
The rest is just stuff you find in every tmux setup guide.
Just throwing out two options of what I have seen other people do:
1) Mount remote folders locally with sshfs and then use your favourite
editor on the machine itself.
2) Connect with x2go to the remote machine and run a desktop
environment on the remote machine.
I don't know whether these two work on MacOS or how difficult they are
to setup.
