How to enable (and use) persistent remote connection with VSCode/tmux?

Just to be sure, to “open a new Julia REPL session” normally I just start evaluating something in the file and Julia “starts”, are there other ways to start/reconnect Julia REPL to existing sessions ?

Just do whatever you do normally, all methods to open a new REPL should reconnect automatically.

Also, sometimes I need to kill Julia and restart it. If I do it ( CTRL+d ) in the remote “persistent” session I get a message “Pane is dead” and then I need to open a new bash terminal and type tmux kill-server .
Is this the way to do it ?

Alt-J Alt-K will kill the Julia process and ask you whether you want the tmux session to close as well. Otherwise you should be able to close the dead pane with Ctrl-B X Y too.

Finally, if I try to scroll the persistent terminal panel, instead of the old terminal lines I get the current prompt changing to the history of commands. Again, is there a way to get it scrolling like in the local terminal ?

Enable mouse mode in tmux by putting set -g mouse on into your ~/.tmux.conf.
