Thanks for the feedback so far! Based on the comments on this thread, I have made a number of changes to screen-profiles that I hope you find a bit better.
* I changed the default escape sequence back to ctrl-a, since this matches most default expectations, and all of the documentation. * I merged some functionality from Nick Barcet, which adds a page in the helper menu (F9); here, you can easily change your escape sequence to some other key; this is stored and loaded from your ~/.screenrc/keybindings file; this would be a good place to put any additional customizations to your keybindings that you might prefer. * We're not launching screen by default. This is a toggle, on a per user basis, in the helper menu (F9) * I did add a "Recommends: screen-profiles" to the screen package, such that it gets installed on the server. * At this point, it's still required that each user run "select-screen-profile" and choose "ubuntu" to benefit from this functionality. I would like to consider: 1. making screen *depend* on screen-profiles 2. moving the default /etc/screenrc installed by screen to something like /etc/screenrc.plain 3. installing the ubuntu profile to /etc/screenrc such that all Ubuntu screen users have the ubuntu screen profile by default 4. maintaining the ability to switch *back* to the plain profile through select-screen-profile and the helper menu Thoughts on the latter proposition? :-Dustin -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
