Jarrod,

I seem to use Ctrl-E c f, to force connection, especially of there is a lurking console running, whether a zombie process or on another screen session. I have also used this, when supporting a customer, who's had the connection already made, and therefore I am automatically in SPY mode; so Ctrl-E c f, resolved that for me.

I don't think I've that many requests wrt shared read/write access to the console; from my aspect, just create some new escape sequences, and I guess we'll go with them

regards,

So in the new console server, thus far all the client currently supports is:
ctrl-e, c, ? (help)
ctrl-e, c, . (disconnect console)

I'm going to be adding:
ctrl-e, c, o (reconnect console, note that it already automatically detects and corrects most situations that I employed ctrl-e, c, o to fixup today, and that it accelerates fixup of an unconnected session automatically on client connect)
ctrl-e, c, l, 0 (send break)

Already today, it automatically does something analagous to ctrl-e, c, p on connection without user request, though I could add it as an explicit command.

FWIW, the default behavior is currently all clients get write access. I recall at least one person requesting the current behavior, but was wondering how many of the following server-enforced modes would be desired:
shared (many can read and write)
exclusive-write (many can see, only one can write at a time)
exclusive-full (only one can read or write to a console at a given time, buffered replay would be cleared on close of a client session) Given that, what would be good escape sequences to represent requesting an write-exclusive or full-exclusive session?

More generally, any other sequences that are very popular or else would people prefer a scheme different from the conserver approach? I personally have difficultly with the ubiquitous '~' scheme and find it somewhat handy to not have to think how many ssh sessions I might have nested.
