Hi Jostein,
Thanks for the reply.
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
You can also try to put this in your .screenrc:
etenv TERM screen shell -$SHELL
shell -bash
activity "Activity in %t(%n)"
attrcolor b ".I" # allow bold colors - necessary for some reason
termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm' # tell
screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground
defbce on # use current bg color for erased chars
terminfo xterm* ti=:te=
term screen
Adding the terminfo entry above term (I use term screen-256color)
worked :)
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.
Does your script send some of the screen's paste commands?
No.
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?
You can use "layout" and "resize" for this. Some good tips here:
https://superuser.com/questions/687348/how-to-persist-gnu-screen-layout-after-restart
Yes. I used Neil's and your suggestions to accomplish the same.
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.
Ref. to the termcap setting above.
This actually did not help. Probably it's a screen bug. Do you face
this issue? Which screen version are you on?
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.
A new GNU screen forum at reddit would be nice. :)
Thanks. Created: reddit.com/r/gnuscreen

Manas
