use "CTRL-A ESC" to enter "Copy Mode" basic idea: move to first location type SPACE move to end location type SPACE again -> copy "CTRL-A >" put into /tmp/screen-exchange use "CTRL-A :paste ." to paste copied text into current window. bound to "CTRL-A P" with "bind P paste ." use "CTRL-A ?" for "help" and see all current bindings. more commands are in my screenrc. enjoy! :-)
