I’ve been using screen a lot more recently, but not enough to have all the commands in muscle memory. Writing down a quick cheat-sheet for working with split panes/windows.
To split a screen pane horizontally: Ctrl+a Shift+s
.
To split a screen pane vertically: Ctrl+a Shift+\
.
To move between panes: Ctrl+a Ctrl+Tab
.
To start a new command line in a pane: Ctrl+a Ctrl+c
.
To close the focused pane: Ctrl+a Shift+x
.
Save the layout of the panes with: Ctrl+a :
and then type layout save name-of-your-layout
. After reattaching to the screen session the panes will be restored.
Happy hackin’!
