Making GNOME Terminal GNU screen-aware
- paulsmith 18y agoIn a nutshell, they are discussing changing GNOME Terminal to "speak" GNU screen -- automatically attach to existing screen sessions, option to automatically enter a screen session when starting a new Terminal session, list screen "screens" as tabs in Terminal (or through some other chrome), couple scrolling so that the scrollbar in Terminal scrolls in screen, and generally making screen integration transparent to the user. As a heavy G-T and screen user, I am very excited about this proposal. It sounds like to make it feasible they would have to modify screen to expose library functions, in order to not wind up parsing the low-level terminal codes.
- mooism2 18y agoIt's unfortunate they want to do this by exposing a library interface --- that suggests there's no way a remote screen could be integrated into the terminal in the same way as a local screen. I'd love to be able to have remote sub-screens show up as tabs.
