Comments on: GNU Screen Basic Tutorial http://thingsilearned.com/2009/05/26/gnu-screen-super-basic-tutorial/ something new every day ... or so By Dave Fowler Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:43:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: rbp http://thingsilearned.com/2009/05/26/gnu-screen-super-basic-tutorial/#comment-588 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:54:30 +0000 http://thingsilearned.com/?p=423#comment-588 BTW, C-a 5 toggles to the *6th* window, since numbering starts at 0. Perhaps it’s less confusing to say “C-a 5 toggles to window #5″.

Always good to see screen on the spotlight, thanks! :)

Nope. Ctrl+a Ctrl+a toggles to the “other” window (whichever one you were at previously). Ctrl+a Ctrl+c creates a new window.

> Ctl-a “, get a list of all of the windows

Even better than a list; it’s a *menu* of all windows, so you can interactively select one.

> Ctl-a d, Detach from the window

This command actually detaches the whole session, not just one window.

Glad to see more awareness of GNU screen!
