Hello !

I like gnu screen, however there’s a behavior that really bothers me, and I haven’t found a way to overcome.

I do have on ~/.screenrc:

termcapinfo xterm*|rxvt*|alacritty*|kterm*|Eterm* ti@:te@

So that I can use the mouse scroll to traverse history. However, when using multiple tabs, and you do traverse the history, by scrolling, or simple shift-page-down or shift-page-up, you’ll see the history of all tabs interwined, all mixed up.

Anyone aware of a way to prevent that? I would really like to see just the history of the current gnu screen tab, and nothing else, while “scrolling” up/down on the terminal.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
