RE: Using the Linux Screen Program

in #linux8 years ago

Great intro to screen. I personally prefer tmux, and having gone through that changeover myself having to relearn the key buininds for for some of my more commonly used actions was a pain. Muscle memory can be hard to unlearn.

Sort:  

I used screen to connect to serial ports from Linux. It seemed a little more transparent than using minicom. It never occurred to me to use the screen's other features.

Then I saw a YouTube video about tmux. I'm careful to add new tools to my everyday workflow, but in only a few days I was relying on it heavily.

Fab. I might have to go and investigate tmux then. Plus I'll maybe write an introductory post about it too.

A handy cheat sheet
