GNU Screen Support #1

Closed eligundry closed 11 years ago

eligundry commented 11 years ago

I'm using Konsole on Kubuntu with GNU Screen and this plugin doesn't seem to work with it. I know the documentation mentions issues with Tmux, so I was wondering if the same issue exists in Screen.

Should I just switch to Tmux or do you think this issue is solvable in Screen?

PS: Great job on the plugin. Really digging it.

Thanks for the feedback! It works with tmux because tmux has a pass-through mechanism that allows it to communicate back to the actual terminal program. Unfortunately, screen doesn't have that ability. Personally, I think tmux is a superset of screen's ability, so I'd look at switching. Keep in mind, with Konsole and tmux 1.6, you might run into a bug. I'd get tmux 1.7 into place, if doesn't already come with your distro.

Sorry I can't do more about making it work with screen! And thank you for the kind words!
