Yeah, I don't quite see how a screenrc would help either; mine is
nine lines, but 5 of them are trivial choices, and the others are
arguably workarounds for screen bugs:
vbell off
escape ^\a
# let prompts appear in the titlebar
# any xterm, change xterm, change screen...
termcapinfo xterm* hs:ts=\E]0;:fs=^G:ds=\E]0;^G
hs:ts=\E]0;:fs=^G:ds=\E]0;^G
hardstatus on
bind q windows
# let xterm scrollback behave
termcapinfo xterm* te@:ti@
unsetenv DISPLAY
unsetenv WINDOWID
defscrollback 1000
and most of the time I go to a new machine, I only bother with the
escape setting. (I do have a few uses of screen as an "end-user init"
where it runs a bunch of processes, but practically application
development, it isn't useful to beginners either...)
The real issue I've found getting people to use it is that you mostly
need to *show* them; the man page is a fine reference (it's one of the
ones that I reread every couple of years to look for new things to
use) but I'm a unix geek - I suspect a well done *screencast* would be
more useful than a screenrc...
