Johannes, thanks for trying it out. > (1) It works. But it was awkward at first, since I cannot see the line > splitting the screen.
Yes, that was my problem with it. Too confusing without a visible divider. I just tried the same feature on Ubuntu, and it works very differently there: * There's a vertical strip down the middle when you split the screen. * The two vertical sides contain separate windows. In Cygwin, they're two views into the same window. * The vertical split command is C-a |. I wonder if Ubuntu is using an alternate or more recent patch. I'll see what I can find out about that. I can't find anything in /etc/screenrc that controls the vertical split (although I haven't combed it thoroughly yet). > (2) HowTo: > > ## short version for reference ## > 1. start screen: > $screen > > 2. split vertically > [Ctrl][a] > [V] > > 3. switch to other half > [Ctrl][Tab] > > 4. create new screen > [Ctrl][a] > [c] Thanks. The screen info and man pages just write these as C-a V, C-a Tab, C-a c. No need for the more verbose version below, but thanks for providing it.
