How can you combine two windows in Screen?
I have two windows such that I can move between them by ^A p or ^A n in Screen.
I would like to combine two windows which have the numbers 1 and 3.

You can split the current view with ^A S (or ^A | for vert) then switch to the new view with ^A ^I. The ^A ^N will iterate over available windows. This way you can see both windows in one view.
Not sure what the definition of 'combine' is, but this is one way.

Thank you very much for your answer! - I did not know the `^A |`.

**What is this `^l` in this `^A ^l`?** I unsuccessfully press small `L` as `l`.

Ahh, it's actually an uppercase i.

The command gives me `This window is already logged in.` - **Do you mean to press `CTRL-a SHIFT-i` or `CTRL-a CTRL-SHIFT-i`?** - I ran both unsuccessfully.

^a ^i will switch focus to another pane inside of screen. Another handy shortcut is ^a ? which shows a digest of available commands.
