Ctrl-A 4 switch to window #4 Ctrl-A : gives you a ":" prompt - bottom left corner of screen number 3 + <enter> at the ":" prompt.. renumbers the current window to 3 > > On another note (similar topic), is there a way to reorder the screens, > so from the above example I could make them: > > 0. bash > 1. bash > 2. irssi > 3. irssi > 4. centericq I guess you could do it on the fly using the above technique.. Or, if you use the same applications every time you start a screen session you could add a bunch of "screen -t title n cmd" to your ~/.screenrc (where "title" is the window's title.. "n" its number, and "cmd" the command used to launch each application" and possibly add a few placeholders in the form of bash shells ready to launch an extra incarnation of irssi, icp, lynx.. whatever. > > I don't know why (but some people may agree), but I have always liked > similar sessions grouped together, just makes stuff easier to use (and > easier to remember what screen is doing what). > > I have been looking through archives of lists, but keywords such as > 'screen' and 'change' aren't terribly specific. Yeah.. In this particular case (as always?) the place to look was the f- laming manual.. man page, I mean..
