Public bug reported: Hi all,
According to the manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/html_node/Focus.html#Focus "(C-a <Tab>) Move the input focus to the next region. This is done in a cyclic way so that the top region is selected after the bottom one. If no subcommand is given it defaults to `down'. `up' cycles in the opposite order, `top' and `bottom' go to the top and bottom region respectively. Useful bindings are (j and k as in vi) bind j focus down bind k focus up bind t focus top bind b focus bottom" I've bound "C-a p" to "focus up" and "C-a n" to "focus down"... And they do exactly what is said: they switch to the top/bottom region, but NEVER to the region on the right or on the left and they never go back to an lower/upper region. On the contrary, the default C-a <Tab> focuses alternatively on each region of the whole list of regions, going up/down/top/bottom if necessary and cycling through the list... As a conclusion, that means that, contrarily to what the documentation says: 1. "focus <argument>" does not follow a cycle process; 2. "focus" with no argument does not behave by default as "focus down"... So either the documentation or the implementation is wrong... This is particularly annoying, since I'm trying to bind a key to a command that would cycle through the whole list of regions, but in reverse order (in order not to have to go through a cycle of X (>>2) "C-a <Tab>" to reach the previous region), but such a command actually doesn't exist :[ Cheers GM ** Affects: screen (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to screen in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1387201 Title: screen focus key binding To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen/+bug/1387201/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
