Since I could not find a way to get screen
working with split screens and different windows I switched to
tmux .
So far, after setting up the same look and feel as my
screen configuration, I quite like it (the tmux configuration is
actually human read- and editable).
Below is my current .tmux.conf file
# we like colours
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
# change activator to ctrl+z
unbind C-b
set-option -g prefix C-z
bind C-z send-prefix

# scrollback buffer n lines
set -g history-limit 5000

Need more panes per window?
