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 is released under GNU Free Document License. The cheat sheet was created as a part of my article "Screen VT100/ANSI Terminal Emulator Cheat Sheet". This article can be read here: http://www.catonmat.net/blog/screen-terminal-emulator-cheat-sheet/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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!
