dscreen key action assignments
When the dscreen command is executed, it starts a virtual screen. Some of the keys on the terminal keyboard are not passed through to the virtual screen; instead, the dscreen utility intercepts these keys and performs certain actions when they are pressed.
The actions include:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Select (see dscreen Select keys) | Selects a specified screen. |
| Block (see dscreen Block keys) | Blocks all input and output. |
| New (see dscreen New keys) | Starts a new screen session. |
| End (see dscreen End and Quit keys) | Ends the dscreen utility. |
| Quit (see dscreen End and Quit keys) | Quits the dscreen utility. |
| Previous (see dscreen Previous key) | Switches to previous screen. |
| List (see dscreen List key) | Lists the dscreen assigned keys and their actions. |
The function of each key is dependent on the terminal and the terminal description in the /usr/lbin/tty/dsinfo file.
