Not intending to start (or continue) a flame war, but wanted to point out that ctrl+a, <double quote> will list all screen titles and let you navigate using arrow keys or typing in the number. Of course, that assumes you correctly title your virtual terminal sessions. I was mostly curious because they seem roughly equivalent and mostly dependant on the terminal I am using. I was wondering if maybe there was a trick or two that I was missing. What I like about screen is the way sessions stay open when disconnected, but I find tabbed terminals easier to scroll for history. If there is a tabbed terminal that will allow split screens then all the neat features I know about in screen would exist...although I rarely use that feature at the moment. ~Ramit This email is confidential and subject to important disclaimers and conditions including on offers for the purchase or sale of securities, accuracy and completeness of information, viruses, confidentiality, legal privilege, and legal entity disclaimers, available at http://www.jpmorgan.com/pages/disclosures/email. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
