<code>Ctrl+a</code> <code>|</code> - Split screen
I haven't had time to differentiate between when tmux or screen is used here.  I've just continued to add this page over time without considering when I'm using screen or tmux and whether or not I have the function keys disabled for whatever reason. Some may not work due to some specific configuration idiosyncrasy with your distribution or the package.  Some keybindings are definitely deprecated or no longer valid, but I've kept them here because I haven't been able to check against the "official" version yet.  Use at your discretion.


<code>Ctrl+a</code> <code>Tab</code> - Next to the next screen in a split screen
== Basic ==


<code>Ctrl+a</code> <code>c</code> - Create a new window
<code>F2</code> or <code>Ctrl + a + c</code> - Create a new session


C-a A - Rename the screen
<code>F3</code> or <code>Ctrl + a + a</code> - Go back to the previous session


C-a C-a - Go back to the previous window
<code>F4</code> or <code>Ctrl + a + n</code> - Go to the next session


C-a <0-9> - Switch to screen #0-9 (quick toggle)
<code>F7</code> or <code>Ctrl + a + [</code> - Scrollback/search mode (Press Enter to exit)


C-a " - View a list of the current screens, which will allow you to select one from the list
<code>F8</code> or <code>Ctrl + a + A</code> - Rename the screen


C-a ' - Enter a screen number to switch to (slower version of C-a <0-9>)
<code>F9</code> or <code>Ctrl + a + @</code> - Configuration menu


C-a d - Detach the whole screen session and fork to the background. Very useful for remote sessions you want to leave open. The command "screen -r" will resume your screen session.
== Utility ==


C-a <Escape> - Scroll up through your command line "history" and see what output you previously got. Hitting <Escape> again cancels it.
<code>F5</code> or <code>Ctrl + a + R</code> - Refresh all status notifications


<span class="package">Ctrl</span>+<span class="package">a</span> <span class="package">:</span> <span class="package">clear-history</span> - clear history in the viewing buffer
<code>F6</code> or <code>Ctrl + a + d</code> - Detach from the session and logout
