On the byobu Wikipedia page there is a screenshot with the terminal screen:

Link to terminal screen using byobu

  1. Can somebody explain to me what programs are used here?
    My guess - at the bottom - vim, top right - terminal, top left - I don't know.

  2. And how to make such a byobu screen?

The controls have changed since the accepted answer was posted. From Byobu's help page:

  • Split screen horizontally:

    • Shift+F2 or
    • Ctrl+A then |
  • Split screen vertically:

    • Ctrl+F2 or
    • Ctrl+A then %
  • Switch focus:

    • Shift+↑ ↓ ← → or
    • Ctrl+A then ↑ ↓ ← →

1 . Can somebody explain to me what programs are used here?

  • Program top left is the command htop (is similar to command top)
  • Program top right is indeed a terminal and the bottom one is indeed vim

2 . And how to make such a byobu screen?

  • Horizontal split: Ctrl+A S
  • Vertical split: Ctrl+A | (there is a vertical screen patch that switches the shortcut to Ctrl+A V)
  • To move the focus to the next split: Ctrl+A Tab

Some more shortcuts.
