Package: screen
Version: 4.0.2-4.1
Severity: wishlist
Mac OS X has an excellent Alt+Tab replacement called Exposé. When you
press F9, all windows shrink and are tiled. Then, you click one, and
it comes back to normal size. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expos%C3%A9_%28Mac_OS_X%29 for a
screenshot.
I would love to have the same feature for GNU Screen, perhaps mapped
to Control-a, e. Of course, in Screen, you could not smoothly scale
down the windows, but you could show only the active area of a window
(the area near to the cursor). Since there is no mouse support in
Screen, the arrow keys could be used for choosing a screen.

thanks
Hi,
Screen already provides a windowlist (default binding C-a "), including
keyboard navigation.
I believe a graphical overview is not realistic for a terminal
multiplexer and is unlikely to be implemented upstream.
If you still desire this functionality, please raise this directly
upstream:

Cheers,
