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. + |
