Here's my .screenrc:

defscrollback 5000

vbell on
vbell_msg "   dierre!!!  ----  Wuff!!  "


screen -t GRINDER ssh dierre@grinder.dierre.lan
screen -t TRUNK

attrcolor b ".I"
termcap xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
defbce "on"

# caption always "%3n %t%? @%u%?%? [%h]%?%=%c"
# hardstatus alwaysignore
hardstatus alwayslastline '%{gk}[ %{G}%H %{g}][%= %{wk}%?%-Lw%?%{=b kR}[%{W}%n%f %t%?(%u)%?%{=b kR}]%{= kw}%?%+Lw%?%?%= %{g}]%{=b C}[ %D %m/%d %C%a ]%{W}'

This will open two screen(s). The next step I have to do is:

  1. Ctrl+A -> S to split the screen
  2. Ctrl+A -> \t to go the the empty screen
  3. Ctrl+A -> " to open the screen list

Now I can choose the other screen and therefore I have a terminal with two splitted screen.

Is there a way to create a macro for this? Really annoying to do it every time.

Add at the end of your .screenrc the following lines:

split
focus
other

To run multiple command, each in a separated split window:

screen -t title1 app1
split
focus
screen -t title2 app2
split
focus
screen -t title3 app3

and so on.

can you generalize the answer for n screens? – dierre Mar 26 '12 at 9:53
@dierre: do you mean: start n apps, split the screen, go to the empty screen and choose one of the n running apps? – enzotib Mar 26 '12 at 10:02
I start n apps, I want all n apps in a screen splitted in n – dierre Mar 26 '12 at 10:06
