[@sebastianfarias5670]

awesome tutorial man! thank you... I might be lazy and this might come as demanding (please don't take it that way), but you could also put a list with the commands at the end of the video (or not 😆) like I said, I'm lazy and it felt like a quick shortcut to that list at the very end would have been a quick screenshot and ready to go ! thank you again, you are amazing !!

being "lazy" isn't cool. It won't bring you anywhere.

How to scroll a cursor in split terminals and stretching windows?

[@ACILearning]

You will need to enter "scrollback mode" first. You can do that by pressing "Ctrl+a ["

While in a screen session I was disconnected from the server and when I logged in back to the server, the screen session was still attached and I couldn't access the session. What would be the solution in this situation?

Thanks for the video, I have two main challenges with screen: 1- Copy data from screen pane to an outer file (i.e. leafpad or even another temrinal), as normally the copy works with me internally only. 2- Maintain the order of so called "panes" after dettach/rettach , for example, if i have a screen splitted horizontally then disconnected, when i reconnect i will have only the first screen and i have to split them over again. Is there a way out from those two issue ?

[@ACILearning]

#1: If I understand you correctly there's not a good fix from within screen. However, you can use your terminal's copy/paste or logging features to get data out without using screen's functions. #2: Assuming you always want the same layout, you can modify screenrc or create a configuration file that defines how the panes are laid out. Then it will launch in the desired configuration every time.

@@ACILearning appreciating so much your reply. I think it won't be possible, firstly, using terminal copy is fine but if there are lines in the scroll area, then it won't work, also if the screen is splitted vertically, the copied line will copy from both panes .. I can noe understand that this is not applicable in screen. Thanks again for your help

So it's an alternative to tmux

[@ACILearning]

Yes, however it would be more accurate to say that tmux is an alternative to screen as the screen utility has been around a lot longer. tmux came out in 2007. screen was released in 1987.
