Control-A :acladd other_person_short_login_name
Control-A :acladd root  # <-- in case other person is using sudo screen -x...

Use of scroll buffer

• Hooking up scroll buffer copy/paste to OS X clipboard

• More tricks for the scroll buffer

• Make scrollbars work with screen (instead of needing to use the scrollback buffer)

Splitting what you see into regions

Splits in GNU Screen are useful.

Vertical Splits on OS X

1. Install screen from Macports. Macports includes the "vertical split" patch.
2. Now Control-A, V will give you a vertical split.

To resize these you have to select the leftmost one and: Control-A : (to enter command mode)

• : resize -30

You have to do this on the left most (right will not work) Comments:
