I did use to have a root window constantly open and "Ctrl-a r" is still 
opening a 'sudo -i' window in tmux.

The trouble with that is that I would tend to use the root console for 
non-root things. Besides, it's annoying to 'cd' in the non-root terminal 
in some deep directory structure only to find out you need root 
permissions to do what you actually needed to do when you got there.

With sudo I'm incentivized to use non-root as much as possible, even if 
only because I'm too lazy to switch terminals or type 4 letters and a 
space ;)

Kind regards,
Andrei
