Screen Woes on OS/X
This is probably a simple keyboard, binding issue, but just when I had swatted up, and saw the virtues of screen, I tried it at work from a terminal to another machine over ssh in OS/X and had a horrible time, with keyboard problems. Anyone else?
From OSX?
Are you ssh'ing into a Linux box, or running screen in OSX? I've never been able to use screen from OSX itself, but had an OK time if I'm ssh'd into a Linux machine...

Thanks for the video. Nice tips! :)
Transfer Your Terminal with Screen
I like these small videos. Sometime it's a lot easier to see someone do something as they explain it than see it in print.
GNU screen is awesome
I can't live without screen these days. My nicely-configured shell turns
p hostnameintoexec ssh hostname 'screen -RD'so I can quickly replace my local shell with screen on a remote server. No worrying about dropped network connections or having to back out of my shells, I just detach and reconnect later.That Doughnut Was Tasty
It was the last doughnut in the box, and they gave me a hard time about it. :)
