Handy .screenrc | Matt Michie

Found the follow handy .screenrc posted in a forum. If you are a heavy UNIX user and you haven’t used GNU Screen, you are missing out on one of the handiest applications around. Highly recommended. The following adds a nice status line and F5 and F6 to switch through windows, F7 to rename the active window, and F8 to create a new window.

bindkey -k k5 prev

bindkey -k k6 next

bindkey -k k7 title

bindkey -k k8 screen
