Screen tips

 ·  🎃 kr0m

Screen allows the use of windows. In this article, we will explain how to use them and how to configure a bottom bar to quickly and comfortably know which window we are working on at the moment.

First, we configure screen to display the windows:

vi .screenrc

caption always "%{= kw}%-w%{= gW}%n %t%{-}%+w %-= - %Y-%m-%d %C:%s"

The window management commands are:

  • Ctrl+a c: Creates a new tab
  • Ctrl+a A: Renames the tab
  • Ctrl+a “: Lists the tabs
  • Ctrl+a 0: Switches to tab 0
