ernstki / Classy .screenrc.md

Last active July 9, 2025 22:38

screenrc with a decent-looking caption / hardstatus line, including LSF job status

Here's a sensible .screenrc that does the following:

gives you a useful and hip-looking status line
tries really hard to enable 256 color support for programs that support it, like Vim
disables the visual bell and splash screen
remaps window #0 to be Ctrl+A, `, which feels more natural to me
