screenrc

# invoked from a shell alias:
#
#       alias jf='screen -c nasmjf/screenrc'
#
# Where -c tells screen to use the supplied file for initial commands
# rather than any ~/.screenrc you might have.

# avoid "utmp slot not found message"
deflogin off

# hush now
startup_message off

# make the main screen escape Ctrl-j (which is so much easier to type on my
# little netbook keyboard). Then "Ctrl-j Ctrl-j" toggles between the windows,
# which is super handy.
escape ^Jj

# Turns out saving a 'hardcopy' of the scrollback buffer is the best way to
# save a Screen session. (Logging is awesome, but I quickly realized it was
# saving ALL of the ANSI sequences sent to the terminal by the application!
# The hardcopy is just the visible text content of the screen.
# Let's set scrollback buffer default to big.
defscrollback 5000
# Bind "Ctrl-j h" to hardcopy -h, which also saves the scrollback buffer.
bind h hardcopy -h

# Now create two windows. 'screen' is a screen command to create a new window
# (yeah, confusing in this context) and the bash commands start up with
# specific applications:
#   -c runs the specified command in the shell when it starts.
# The last window we open will be the one we're faced with by default.
# Unfortunately, there's no easy way to keep Bash running after the command
# exits... (The -i option for "interactive" shell is essentially ignored)
#
# This window attempts to assemble, link, and open GDB
#screen bash -c "./build.sh gdb"
#
# Nope, now we just open a shell - the Forth interpreter is pretty good
# at introspection now to the point where GDB is decreasingly helpful.
screen bash
#
# This window contains the source and handy references.
# (This changes as what I'm working on changes.)
