_______________________________________________________
Details:
I have attached a patch that creates a command called 'startat'. The command
allows users to change the default starting window number from 0 to 1 (or
anything else). Please consider applying it.
The patch is quite trivial -- only 4 new lines of C code (the rest is
documentation).
Motivation:
On my keyboard, the '0' key is to the right of the '9' key, not to the left
of the '1' key. Thus, I prefer to have my window numbering start at 1, not
0.
I've added the following lines to my .screenrc to simulate starting at 1:
bind c screen 1 # new windows start at 1
bind 0 select 10 # C-a 0 selects window 10, not window 0
bind ` select 0 # C-a ` selects window 0
screen 1 # create window 1 on startup to inhibit window 0
Unfortunately, the above is unsatisfactory for a few reasons:
* 'screen emacs -nw' puts emacs on window 0, not window 1
* 'screen emacs -nw' creates two windows: window 0 has emacs, window 1 has
a shell. I only want one window (emacs).
* if /etc/screenrc contains 'screen 1' (perhaps the sysadmin or
distribution maintainer also wants windows to start at 1), then two windows
are created (1 and 2).
