Is that possible with screen?

I've used screen for remote pair programming. I usually do the following to initiate a session: screen -dmS foo Then this to connect to it: screen -x foo FWIW, I also remap the escape key to Ctrl+v as bash uses the Ctrl+a for beginning of line. alias screen='screen -e$'\''\026'\''v' Good luck and let us know how things go.
