uh, no. i run multiple and sometimes even nested screen sessions but nested screens really don't work for me as a substitute for tabs. > You can't "click" on them, > but you can ^A1 or ^A' or ^A" to jump to a specific one by number or name, > or ^A^A/^ASPC/^A^H to jump around. i redefine the escape key to be ^K becausee ^A is just far too useful on the bash command line to sacrifice, whereas ^K isn't used for anything at all (at least, nothing that matters to me) > If you're only using screen as dtach, > you're missing most of its functionality. that's not all i use it for, but my two main uses are detach/attach and having multiple shells available on the one ssh session. and sometimes i use the cut and paste abilities of screen's backscroll buffer. craig -- craig sanders <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
