It would be a fairly big improvement to auto reconnect to the same session, eg by integration with screen or tmux or both optionally.

I imagine it would be just an additional option from the drop down of connection types that extends the terminal by auto launching tmux to reattach to a precreated session etc...

Some will say well just connect to it with ssh... thats fine but I rarely use ssh on windows and the web interface is the obvious choice.
 
You are already aware of tmux. What's stopping you from running tmux attach, after reading man tmux? You can also find recommendations/mechanisms to automate this cumbersome step somewhere ;-)

(( My own daily driver is running tmux as my main console-multiplexer / bastion-host. It's a VM on PVE which runs for months (until a Kernel upgrade requires a reboot), is protected by HA and is re-used every day. ))

What is stopping anyone from making the UI more useful.... by default.

Clearly I don't remember to use tmux every time and don't want to modify every VM/container beyond just installing tmux....forgetting to use tmux when I ought to which leads to annoyances like apt running in the background when I click out of the frame on a tab I meant to leave alone.

You may create an "enhancement bug" over at bugzilla then --> https://bugzilla.proxmox.com

While several staff members are active here in the community forum (thank you!), the official place is there.

Please report back a link to that bug here. Thanks :-)
