I just checked, the original screenrc I had when I emerged screen on this system around April has these lines: # Change default scrollback value for new windows defscrollback 1000 # default: 100 So it's 1000 already in Gentoo, ten times larger than the default. Still not large enough I think, as we have lots of memory nowadays, don't we. And I often go back many pages, 100 lines is not that much. BTW, I did not know about Ctrl-U/D, after Ctrl-A-Esc I just use PgUp/PgDn to scroll up and down. I prefer to edit /etc/screenrc so everyone has a reasonable large scrollback buffer. Other screen settings go into the user's .screenrc. There's so much that can be set, I'm only using a fraction of screen's features. Another thing I sometimes use: With screen -r / you can join a session that is attached by another user. I am using this sometimes when another person has trouble with their Gentoo installation. I log in into their server, attach to the screen session, and we can both do things in it. screen needs the multiuser USE flag for this, though. Wonko
