Go to the first, previous, next, last section, table of contents.
This section describes the commands for switching between windows in an
screen session. The windows are numbered from 0 to 9, and are created
in that order by default (see section 6 New Window).
- Command: next
-
(C-a SPC, C-a n, C-a C-n)
Switch to the next window. This command can be used repeatedly to
cycle through the list of windows. (On some terminals, C-SPC
generates a NUL character, so you must release the control key before
pressing space.)
- Command: prev
-
(C-a p, C-a C-p)
Switch to the previous window (the opposite of C-a n).
- Command: other
-
(C-a C-a)
Switch to the last window displayed. Note that this command
defaults to the command character typed twice, unless overridden.
For instance, if you use the option `-e]x',
this command becomes ]] (see section 14.3 Command Character).
- Command: select [n]
-
(C-a n, C-a ', C-a ")
Switch to the window with the number n.
If no window number is specified, you get prompted for an
identifier. This can be a window name (title) or a number.
When a new window is established, the lowest available number
is assigned to this window.
Thus, the first window can be activated by select 0; there
can be no more than 10 windows present simultaneously (unless screen is
compiled with a higher MAXWIN setting).
The special command select - switches to a blank window.
