How to split the terminal into more than one view
How to split the terminal into more than one “view”
You can do it in screen
the terminal multiplexer.
To split vertically: ctrl a
then |
.
To split horizontally: ctrl a
then S
(uppercase ‘s’).
To unsplit: ctrl a
then Q
(uppercase ‘q’).
To switch from one to the other: ctrl a
then tab
Note: After splitting, you need to go into the new region and start a new session via ctrl a
then c
before you can use that area.
EDIT, basic screen usage:
New terminal: ctrl a
then c
.
Next terminal: ctrl a
then space
.
Previous terminal: ctrl a
then backspace
.
N’th terminal ctrl a
then [n]
. (works for n∈{0,1…9})
Switch between terminals using list: ctrl a
then "
(useful when more than 10 terminals)
Send ctrl a
to the underlying terminal ctrl a
then a
.
