If I start the session on that machine in Terminal, everything works. Only remotely s...

If often use screen to run multiple scripts at once on my Linux servers. When I deattach from the screen and later reattach I can't use the hotkeys anymore. F.e. when I try to do CTRL + A followed by an N I don't go to the next instance, I simply see what I type in my terminal. How do I make sure that screen listens to my input, even af...

Also, while using VIM, I have mapped to do some actions, but this key combination is not called. Any TMUX expert there?. ...
ISO/IEC 2022 defines the C0 and C1 control codes. The C0 set are the familiar codes between 0x00 and 0x1f in ASCII, ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 (eg. ESC, CR, LF). Some VT100 terminal emulators (eg. screen(1), PuTTY) support the C1 set, too. These are the values between 0x80 and 0x9f (so, for example, 0x84 moves the cursor down a line). I am...
I am using GNU screen a lot. I find it very annoying that everytime the server has to be rebooted I lose all my sessions (even if I know in advance, I need to set-up everything again). I've searched the web for possibilities how to make screen survive a reboot, but found nothing that works for me. Some of the methods I found and there f...
