107
----------------------------
109
* real multiuser support
110
A window can now be displayed on more than one attached displays.
111
Screen does all the necessary clipping if the window size doesn't
114
^AF - fit the window size into the display size.
116
* split screen support
117
A display may now host multiple windows.
119
^AS - split horizontally. This add another region to the display
120
^A<Tab> - move the focus to the next region
121
^AX - kill the current region
122
^AQ - kill all other regions
124
* hardstatus emulation support
125
The last line of the display may now be used as a hardstatus
126
line if the terminal doesn't have the 'hs' capability.
128
hardstatus [always]lastline
129
hardstatus [always]message
130
hardstatus [always]ignore
132
* configurable window seperator and hardstatus strings
133
The window (region) seperator and the hardstatus can be set to an
134
arbitrary string containing screen's % escape sequences.
135
The window's hardstatus is just another escape sequence, '%h'.
137
hardstatus string [string]
138
caption string [string]
139
The default strings are "%h" (hardstatus) and "%3n %t" (caption).
141
* permanent window seperator
142
The window seperator can be set to stay on screen even if
143
the display contains only one region
149
%c - current time HH:MM (*CHANGE*: this was %w in screen-3.7)
150
%C - current time HH:MM in 24h format
151
%l - the load of the system
152
%h - hardstatus of the window
153
%w - all window names
154
%W - all window names except the current window
155
%u - all other users on this window
156
%? - the part to the next %? is displayed only if an escape
157
expands to an nonempty string.
158
%: - "else" part of %?
159
Some escapes like %c may be qualified with a '0' (like %0c)
160
to make screen use '0' instead of space as a filler.
161
Others understand a length qualifier, like %3n.
162
If escapes like the current time are used as hardstatus/caption
163
string screen will update them so that you can always have
164
the current time onscreen.
165
*CHANGE* ~ is no longer used as bell character, use ^G instead!
167
* logfile timestamps and flush timeout
171
logtstamp string [string]
172
logtstamp after [secs]
174
* configurable breaktype
175
You can now choose one of TIOCSBRK, TCSBRK, tcsendbreak.
180
* other new commands:
181
hstatus - set the window's hardstatus
185
* optional builtin telnet.
186
This is useful if screen is used as frontend to a terminal
187
multiplexor. Use //telnet to access the builtin telnet program,
188
as in: 'screen //telnet host [port]'
190
* remote detach and reattach change:
191
'-d' is now ignored if the screen is already detached and you
192
want to reattach. You can also use '-RR' to make screen use
193
the first session found if more than one session is available.
194
Thus '-d -RR' or '-x -RR' always gets you a screen.
196
* support for history compaction
197
You can tell screen to suppress trailing blank lines when
198
scolling up text into the history buffer. (Wayne Davison)
202
* optional Braille support. If you can read Braille and have one of
203
the devices listed in README.DOTSCREEN, please compile with
204
-DHAVE_BRAILLE and let us know if this feature is useful.
