|
Screen provides you with an ANSI/vt100 terminal emulator, which can multiplex
|
|
up to 10 pseudo-terminals. On startup, it executes $SHELL in window 0.
|
|
Then it reads $HOME/.screenrc to learn configuration, keybindings, and
|
|
possibly open more windows.
|
|
|
|
C-a ? (help) Show all keybindings.
|
|
|
|
C-a c (screen) Create new windows.
|
|
|
|
C-a SPACE (next) Advance to next window (with wraparound).
|
|
|
|
C-a C-a (other) Toggle between the current and previously
|
|
displayed windows.
|
|
|
|
C-a 0 (select n) Switch to window n=0 ... 9.
|
|
...
|
|
C-a 9
|
|
|
|
C-a w (windows) Show a list of window names in the status line.
|
|
|
|
C-a a (meta) Send a literal C-a/C-s/C-q to the
|
|
C-a s (xoff) process in the window.
|
|
C-a q (xon) For instance, emacs uses C-a and C-s.
|
|
|
|
C-a l (redisplay) Redraw this window.
|
|
|
|
C-a W (width) Toggle between 80 & 132 columns mode.
|
|
|
|
C-a L (login) Try to toggle the window's utmp-slot.
|
|
|
|
C-a z (suspend) Suspend the whole screen session.
|
|
|
|
C-a x (lockscreen) Execute /usr/bin/lock, $LOCKCMD or a
|
|
built-in terminal lock.
|
|
|
|
C-a H (log) Log stdout of window n to screenlog.n.
|
|
|
|
C-a C-[ (copy) Start copy mode. Move cursor with h,j,k,l.
|
|
Set 2 marks with SPACE or y. Abort with ESC.
|
|
(C-[ is ESC.) Preceeding second mark with
|
|
an a appends the text to the copy buffer.
|
|
|
|
C-a C-] (paste) Output copy buffer to current window's stdin.
|
|
|
|
C-a < (readbuf) Read the copy buffer from /tmp/screen-exchange.
|
|
C-a > (writebuf) Write the copy buffer to /tmp/screen-exchange.
|
|
|
|
C-a d (detach) Detach screen. All processes continue and may
|
|
spool output to their pty's, but screen
|
|
disconnects from your terminal.
|
|
|
|
C-a D D (pow_detach) Power detach. Disconnect like C-a d but also
|
|
kill the parent shell.
|
|
|
|
C-a K (kill) Kill a window and send SIGHUP to its process
|
|
group. Per default this would be C-a C-k,
|
|
but it is redefined in the demo .screenrc
|
|
(think of killing a whole line in emacs).
|
|
|
|
C-a : (colon) Online configuration change.
|
|
|
|
See the man page or TeXinfo manual for many more keybindings and commands.
|
|
|
|
screen -r [pid.tty.host|tty.host]
|
|
Reattach to a specific detached session. The terminal emulator
|
|
reconfigures according to your $TERMCAP or $TERM settings.
|
|
When you have multiple screens detached, you must supply the session
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
screen -R reattaches to a detached session or (if none) creates a new
|
|
session.
|
|
|
|
screen -d [pid.tty.host|tty.host]
|
|
Detach a screen session remotely. Has the same effect as typing 'C-a d'
|
|
on the controlling terminal. 'screen -D' will power-detach.
|
|
|
|
screen -list
|
|
screen -ls
|
|
screen -wipe
|
|
Show all available sessions and their status. Use -wipe to remove
|
|
DEAD sessions.
|
|
|
|
If sockets are missing, you may send a SIGCHLD to its 'SCREEN'
|
|
process and the process will re-establish the socket (think of
|
|
someone cleaning /tmp thoroughly).
|
|
|
|
screen -h 200
|
|
Starts a new screen session and sets the number of lines in the scrollback
|
|
buffer to 200. The default is 100 lines.
