A future version of screen will have a feature that will make screen itself slightly less obtrusive. It will not fix the issue of C-a a a a a [space], nor will it allow you to grab non-screen'd processes into screen, but it will make starting a new screen session (reattaching, actually) mor

In my main use model, I'm multiplexed at multiple levels. I often have more than one computer going (meaning two keyboards, two mice, two monitors). I then usually run virtual desktop managers, giving me 4 to 6 desktops. I then open up a bazillion xterms, because I generally prefer to have ev

I just do everything in screen. But if you're tired of doing C-a space to change screens, then just keep to one window in screen... ;) (To me, if you've got more than one screen, then you've got a reason to use screen all the time anyway...) "Aaron Davies" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Yeah, p

Yeah, pretty much. I got tired of going "ctrl-a a a a a " to change screens. Anyone here know the Telnet Song, by Guy Steele and Knuth? Screen is the modern incarnation. :-) These days, my standard .*profile finshes up with a prompt asking me whether I want to run screen or not, and executes it a

Phil, I tried something like that once and found it too annoying. Mainly, I ran into the oddball sorts of TERMCAP / backspace / etc. issues too often when logging in from "strange" hosts. Also, what happens when you ssh from host A to host B? If every session I have open is runs screen, it

"Me too!" Freaky thing is, this *may actually be possible*. If screen develops the capability to import TTY FDs from another process, then the answer may be as simple as a wrapper around your shell that does little more than hold the FDs for your TTY, and pipes them through. (Well, it'd al
