i tried the lines from your screenrc but they didn't work. however, one strange thing - ONE terminal with screen running lets me scroll with my mouse without any adjustments to .screenrc. all other terminals don't. i can stop/restart the terminal and it still works. any other terminals i start don't allow scrolling. very, very strange |
You are looking for:
| Code: | # xterm scrollbar should work with screen
# also for scroll wheel
termcapinfo xterm ti@:te@
termcapinfo xterm 'hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=\007:ds=\E]2;screen\007'
termcapinfo rxvt 'hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=\007:ds=\E]2;screen\007' |
This should work with xterm, aterm, and rxvt (rxvt-unicode),too.
But beaware that you scroll back in TERM History with that, not in screens history!!
This means also you have to enable a Xterm history
e.g.
Which means, if you have several Screen-Session opened each of them will overide this TERM history.
But the screen history is available for every session allways!
Try it.
This "dirty hack" works good enough for me.
If someone has a better idea please let me know.

i tried that, it didn't work. here is my .screenrc:
| Code: |
defscrollback 5000
shell /bin/bash
# set window title to current command
shelltitle '$ |bash'
# extra key binds
bindkey -k F9 prev
bindkey -k FA next
#<F9> and <F11> binds #bindkey -k k9 prev
#bindkey -k F1 next
bindkey -k k1 select 1
bindkey -k k2 select 2
bindkey -k k3 select 3
bindkey -k k4 select 4 bindkey -k k5 select 5
bindkey -k k6 select 6
# show host, time/date, and window list
#hardstatus alwayslastline "%{rk}%H%{wk} %c %M%d %?%-Lw%?%{gk}%n-%f %t%?(%u)%?%{wk}%+Lw%? "
hardstatus alwayslastline "%{rk}%H%{wk} %c %d-%M %?%-Lw%?%{gk}%n-%f %t%?(%u)%?%{wk}%+Lw%? "
autodetach off
startup_message off
# xterm scrollbar should work with screen
# also for scroll wheel
term rxvt
termcapinfo xterm ti@:te@
termcapinfo xterm 'hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=\007:ds=\E]2;screen\007'
termcapinfo rxvt 'hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=\007:ds=\E]2;screen\007'
|
i'm using screen with aterm, which is based on rxvt; do i need to alter anything (like the termcapinfo xterm ti@:te@ line) to get it working? |

Sorry you are right.
This scrollback feature does not work with aterm and urxvt anymore.
Problably s.th. has change in termcapinfo (/etc/terminfo/) for all rxvt based TERMs.
I´m using Xterm all time. With Xterm it still works like I said.
hmmm
Maybe some Term Hacker know what to change to make it work again????

ok, this is really annoying. i changed TERM=rxvt to TERM=xterm in .screenrc, and bingo. two of my 3 open terminals starting scrolling in screen, with mouse wheel and shift-pgup/dn
the 3rd terminal does not work like this.
wtf?
why do some work and others not!? how is that reasonable? just enough carrot to make me think i've got it working, then a big fat stick-whack 
EDIT: i just added
| Code: |
termcapinfo rxvt ti@:te@
|
to .screenrc and, um... it works! that was easy... |

from the man:
| Code: | -tn termname
This option specifies the name of the terminal type to be set in the TERM environment variable. This terminal type must exist in the termcap(5) database and should have li# and co# entries; resource termName. |

$TERM was set to the same value ('rxvt') in all terminals - that's what i couldn't understand.
anyway, it's working now, so no matter. thanks anyway |

I have a problem with XTerm*charClass:
I have it like this:
XTerm*charClass: 33:48,35:48,37:48,43:48,45-47:48,61:48,63:48,64:48,95:48,126:48,35:48,58:48
but it does not mark URLs with a & in it It always stops at the &
I use xterm.
any ideas? |

just a slight note if your .Xdefaults file doesn't get loaded you can always put the command givin earlyer
| Code: | | xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults |
into the .bashrc file. |

I like to see the exit code of a script explicitly, e.g. that a kernel compile went OK.
In your /etc/profile, change:
| Code: | #This:
export PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'
#To this:
export PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W $? \$ \[\033[00m\]'
Example:
|
The difference is just a simple $?
You can also do echo $? after a command.
| Code: | -bash: not_here: command not found
thisServer root 127 #

Hey all,
You might not know about this handy command. Do an "emerge xtermcontrol" and you can do all kinds of crazy stuff to your xterm *on the fly* - like changing bg/fg colors, fonts, title string, iconifying/deciconifying.... Long list!
Have fun,

| Posted: Fri May 27, 2005 12:20 am Post subject: urxvt+screen+scrollback buffer |
|
|
I'm sorry if I missed it somewhere but I've searched a lot and came out empty-handed on this one:
I'm running urxvt. I list a folder. Mouse scroll works just fine, scroll buffer as well. I then run screen. I move into another folder, list, scroll - and the scroll shown is from the initial folder I did prior to starting screen. All folders afterwards, same result.
I'm running urxvt. Don't list. I start screen. List, no scroll.
It seems that inside screen, the buffer won't update from what it had prior to running screen... 
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to have on ~/.screenrc, contents follow:
grin@GRiN ~ $ l .screenrc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 grin 60 Mai 27 01:09 .screenrc*
| Code: | defscrollback 5000
shell /bin/bash
termcapinfo rxvt ti@:te@ |
What am I missing...?
Thanks for the help! |

have a look here:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-1886767.html#1886767
basically there are 2 !! Histories.
one from your Term and another from screen.
if you scroll with your mousewheel you scroll ONLY through the Term history!!
same with Shift+PgUp.
Screen's history is only available through: Strg+A ESC
The thing is, when you work in screen it OVERWRITES the history from your Term.
This way we can use the scrollwheel in screen.
But if you need to know what happend some time back you have to enter the screen history.

Thanks for the reply! I enabled both histories like you said and then I got to scroll with buffer inside screen, but only about 30 lines would stay in buffer - having set 5000 - so then I found and "remarked" line on my .Xdefault, using #, took it out and from then on it's working! Thanks a lot for your tips! 
Here are my configs just in case:
.Xdefaults
| Code: | grin@GRiN ~ $ cat .Xdefaults
URxvt*background: black
URxvt*foreground: white
URxvt*scrollBar: false
URxvt*loginShell: true
URxvt*inheritPixmap: true
URxvt*tintColor: #1a506d
URxvt*shading: 75
URxvt*title: Gentoo Terminal
URxvt*name: urxvt
URxvt*saveLines: 5000
URxvt*iconName: Terminal
URxvt*font: xft:arial:pixelsize=13:charwidth=10
URxvt*geometry: 101x19+0+0
URxvt*termName: rxvt-unicode
URxvt*scrollTtyKeypress:true
URxvt*scrollWithBuffer: true
URxvt*borderLess: true
URxvt*scrollTtyOutput: true
URxvt*scrollKeypress: false
|
| Code: | .screenrc
grin@GRiN ~ $ cat .screenrc
defscrollback 5000
shell /bin/bash
term rxvt-unicode
URxvt -sl 5000
# xterm scrollbar should work with screen
# also for scroll wheel
termcapinfo rxvt-unicode ti@:te@
termcapinfo rxvt-unicode 'hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=\007:ds=\E]2;screen\007'
