How to go past window 9 in GNU Screen without going to Window list?
If you type Ctrl+a+' (an apostrophe), screen
asks you to enter the window number. It's in screen
help on the left side. Hit Ctrl+a+? to see the help.
According to screen's manual page, you can add the following lines to your ~/.screenrc
file:
bind -c demo1 0 select 10
bind -c demo1 1 select 11
bind -c demo1 2 select 12
bindkey "^B" command -c demo1
makes C-b 0
select window 10, C-b 1
window 11, etc. Alternatively, you can use:
bind -c demo2 0 select 10
bind -c demo2 1 select 11
bind -c demo2 2 select 12
bind - command -c demo2
makes C-a - 0
select window 10, C-a - 1
window 11, etc.
Well I don't know what your doing that actually needs 10+ processes to be accessible in one screen instance anyway, but you might just use ctrl-a n/p
to go back and forth (which conveniently wraps around).
And consider just using 2 instances of screen ... or even a screen-in-screen
There is no way to switch directly to windows above number 9 as explained in the doc.
