SCREEN QUICK REFERENCE

screen # launches screen.
screen -ls # lists all screen sessions.
screen -r # tries to attach a detached screen.
screen -x # attaches a an existing screen even if it not detached.
screen foo_command # launches screen and runs foo_command in the created window. If launched in an already existing screen window it does not create a new screen session, but creates a new window in the current one.
C-a c # creates a new window.
C-a d # detaches current screen.
C-a n # switches to next window.
C-a p # switches to previous window.
C-a ? # screen help.
C-a a # switches back to last window.
C-a A # sets window tittle.
C-a " # selects a window through a list.
C-a F # resizes the window to the current region size.
C-a a # sends "C-a" command to the current window.
C-a x # locks the screen.
C-a k # kills current window.
C-a w # lists all windows.
C-a 'digit' # e.g: C-a 1 switches into window number '1'. Same occurs for 2 to 9 and zero.

Flow control

If flow control is activated:

C-s command equals xoff which stops the byte flow and terminal freezes.
To reactivate the byte flow, C-q command is needed which equals to xon.

C-a f # toogles flow control state value: on / of / auto.

When flow control activated, to send C-s and C-q commands to current window:

C-a s # sends "C-s" command to current window.
C-a q # sends "C-q" command to current window.

Working with regions

C-a S # split current region horizontally.
C-a C-i # switches focus into next region.
C-a X # kills current region.
C-a Q # kills all regions but current one.
