This is a screen keyboard shortcut cheat sheet. Screen is the must-have productivity tool for working in the Unix shell.
It was created by Peteris Krumins (peter@catonmat.net). His blog is at http://www.catonmat.net -- good coders code, great reuse.

The cheat sheet was created as a part of my article "Screen VT100/ANSI Terminal Emulator Cheat Sheet". This article can be read here:

The keyboard shortcuts are sorted alphabetically by the 2nd keyboard key.
You should at least know the following keyboard shortcuts:
* Ctrl-a c - Create a new window with a shell and switch to it.
* Ctrl-a Ctrl-a - Switch between current and previous window.
* Ctrl-a k - Kill the current window.
* Ctrl-a n - Switch to the next window.
* Ctrl-a p - Switch to the previous window.
* Ctrl-a ESC - Enter scrollback mode. Hit ESC again to quit.
* Ctrl-a Ctrl-d - Detach the window. To attach again, type `screen -r` in
the shell.
Syntax "Ctrl-a X" means "first press Ctrl-a, then release these keys and press key X".
Syntax "Ctrl-a Ctrl-X" means "press Ctrl-a, then not releasing Ctrl key, press the X key".
Have fun and be more productive on the command line!
Sincerely,
Peteris Krumins
