A favorite .screenrc setting

I thought I’d share my current and favorite, .screenrc settings:

vbell off
autodetach on
defscrollback 10000
startup_message off
pow_detach_msg "Screen session of \$LOGNAME \$:cr:\$:nl:ended."
caption always "%{= gk}%-Lw%{= rW}%50> %n%f* %t %{-}%+Lw%< %= %{= Gk} %H %{= rW} %l %{= Gk} %0c:%s %d/%m %{-}"
shell -$SHELL

Looking like:

From the bottom left to right:

  • Screen name ‘tabs’: %-Lw%{= rW}%50> %n%f* %t %{-}%+Lw%<
  • Server name: %H
  • Server load: %l
  • Date & time: %0c:%s %d/%m

I put this togehter a few years ago, back in London, when working at multimap, but I cannot remember where I sourced it from. So, I’m putting it here for posterity.

What is your favourite .screenrc configuration?
