This is the .screenrc I use. It isn't complicated, but it does show you clearly which screen you are attached to and I like the status bar that shows how to get help. This is a helpful failsafe for users that forget "C-a ?" :-)

Minimal GNU Screen

  • C-a ? -- Show help
  • C-a d -- Disconnect
  • C-a n -- Next screen
  • C-a p -- Previous screen
  • C-a c -- Create New screen
  • C-a esc -- Enter Copy/Scrollback mode (esc again to exit scrollback mode). Scrollback mode is very useful. Use Vi-like keys to mode up and down (hjkl for cursor, C-u for UP, C-d for DOWN).

.screenrc

This is the .screenrc I use. It isn't complicated, but it does show you clearly which screen you are attached to and I like the status bar that shows how to get help. This is a helpful failsafe for users that forget "C-a ?" :-)

Download .screenrc <include svncat src="file:///home/svn/src/dotfiles/.screenrc" highlight="sh" />
