screen is infinitely useful.
- silentbicycle 17y agotmux is good as well. Slightly different feature set, and its cleaner codebase means that it's more likely to get features that have been on screen's todo list for ages. http://tmux.sourceforge.net/ http://tmux.sourceforge.net/
- mcxx 17y agoYes, it is. I recommend remapping the standard C-a to C-z, as C-a acts as "jump to the beginning of line" in couple of shells, Emacs and Emacs clones.
- graywh 17y agoI use ctrl-_ (aka ctrl-7).
- spudlyo 17y agoI'm not sure that C-z is a great choice as it's often used for job control. I use C-o myself. I suppose you could always use C-z C-z if you wanted to suspend your current foreground process.
- mcxx 17y agoI settled with C-z as it is easy and fast to type with one hand. However I am occasionally too fast and hit C-z z instead of C-z C-z. 'fg' solves this.
- nagoff 17y agoas an emacs junkie I use backtick for my screen control. Works fine till you try to paste blocks of SQL containing loads of said backticks - easy way to fubar a screen session. Perhaps its emacs' fault but finding an easy to use key or key combo that isn't already in use is far too hard!
