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

A classy .screenrc with LSF support

Screenshot of what you get

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
