Which are free for binding? # A: SCREEN does not have a command to show you # a table of currently unbound keys - sorry! # You simply have to read this setup file. ;-) # # Summary: Here is a table of the keys # which are not bound by default: # unbound: -B--E-G--J-L---P-R-TUV--Y- # bound: A-CD-F-HI-K-MNO-Q-S---WX-Z # # I suggest that you do not change the bindings for # 'H' ("log") and 'M' ("monitor") as they are *really* # useful and you might want to use them a lot; # in this case it is recommended to use # the defaults to avoid confusion. # personally, I use 'A' ("title") quite often, too. # # If you are using "split windows" # then you will also use the command # associated with the keys FQSX a lot, too - # so do not change their bindings, either! # # Anyway, I have bound the unbound uppercase letters # to start programs in windows directly, ie without # starting a new window with a shell within first. # This simply saves shells and thus saves RAM - # and also avoids that the title of windows is # the name of your shell. Also, you need not "exit" # from a shell when you are done with some program. # And when using "zombie mode" then the window will stay # and you can resurrect them with the CTRL-SPACE command. # cool! :-) # # enable "zombie mode": # zombie z # here the parameter 'z' defines the key # which makes a zombie window go away. # # # ============================================================== # BIND and the Services: # ============================================================== # I am using the uppercase letters to start programs/services: # # the idea: # bind # this binds the key to start a windows with inside. # # the command "screen" starts a "window" - # and the default key is 'c' for "create". # (i know - this *is* confusing at first.) # with 'screen -t title" you can set a titlestring. # the number following is the window number to be used. # if the window number is already taken then # the least highest available number is used. # # # bind A title # default! # # BUUG - Berlin Unix User Group - read some news about Unix # bind B # unbound by default # bind B screen -t 'buug' 4 links www.buug.de # bind B screen -t 'BICS' 4 links http://ods.schule.de/bics/inf1/tagung/index.htm # # CHEM - LinuxTag event in Chemnitz -- 2003-03-01 + 2003-03-02 # bind C screen -t 'CAMP' 9 links http://www.ccc.de/camp/index.en.html # bind C screen -t 'CHEM' 9 links 'www.tu-chemnitz.de/linux/tag/lt5/vortraege/?print=1' # bind C screen -t 'CIT' 9 links http://www.guckes.net/cit/ # bind C screen -t 'CIT' 9 links http://www.computerinfotag.de # NOTE: This overrides the default binding for the "clear" command. # # www.a1.net www.izone.at # www.one.at # DICT - Dictionary English<->German # bind D pow_detach ! # bind D screen -t 'DICT' 4 links dict.tu-chemnitz.de # Note: this overrides the default binding for the # command "pow_detach".
