To send a literal `C-a` to the programs in screen, use `C-a a`. This is useful when when working with screen within screen. For example `C-a a n` will move screen to a new window on the screen within screen. | ## Getting in | | | |---|---| | `screen -S <name>` | Start a new screen session with session name | | `screen -ls` | List running sessions/screens | | `screen -x` | Attach to a running session | | `screen -r <name>` | Attach to a running session with name | | `screen -dRR` | The "ultimate attach" Attaches to a screen session.
