Hi all,

I have started using GNU screen recently (because I like the screen model of 
windows more than that of tmux, which I was using earlier), and have a bunch of 
queries that I couldn’t resolve:

1. I am using iTerm2 on macOS, with TERM as xterm-256color in my bashrc. I am 
not able to use mouse-scroll. I added "termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@“ to my 
.screenrc, but it doesn’t work.

2. Many times when I run a long-output-generating script, suddenly some garbage 
output gets pasted onto my terminal even after I have CTRL-C’ed the command 
(either within vim or in the shell prompt itself). A CTRL-L solves the issue, 
though.

3. Coming from tmux, miss the feature where I could zoom onto a tmux-pane and 
unzoom back after some moments. Is there I way I could expand a splitted region 
to occupy the whole width/height temporarily and un-expand it back so that the 
existing splits/regions stay back?

4. When I close a full-region command, say vim or top, even with ‘altscreen 
on’, the prompt jumps to the bottom of the terminal (though altscreen is 
serving its purpose of clearing the screen above the prompt). Is thee a way the 
prompt stays back at the place from which the command started? I remember I did 
not see this problem on some older version of screen on a friend’s system.

5. Is there a subreddit for gnu-screen? I couldn’t find one. I would be glad to 
create and manage one if you people are interested.

Please reply back for whichever query you could; thanks in advance :)

Regards,
Manas
