screen also prints out control characters in caret notation. Please use the caret notation (' ^A' instead of ' C-a') as arguments to e.g., the escape command or the -e option. Screen does not understand the prefix ' C-' to mean control. The command character and all the key bindings can be fully customized to be anything you like, though they are always two characters in length. By default, each command begins with a control-a (abbreviated C-a from now on), and is followed by one other keystroke. The only exception to this is the one keystroke that is used to initiate a command to the window manager. If this window was in the foreground, the display switches to the previous window if none are left, screen exits.Įverything you type is sent to the program running in the current window. When a program terminates, screen (per default) kills the window that contained it. Programs continue to run when their window is currently not visible and even when the whole screen session is detached from the user's terminal.

All windows run their programs completely independent of each other. Then, at any time, you can create new (full-screen) windows with other programs in them (including more shells), kill existing windows, view a list of windows, turn output logging on and off, copy-and-paste text between windows, view the scrollback history, switch between windows in whatever manner you want, etc. When screen is called, it creates a single window with a shell in it (or the specified command) and then gets out of your way so that you can use the program as you normally would. There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-and- paste mechanism that allows moving text regions between windows.

Each virtual terminal provides the functions of a DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, several control functions from the ISO 6429 (ECMA 48, ANSI X3.64) and ISO 2022 standards (e.g., insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets). Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes (often interactive shells).
