The screen-devel list is the best place to discuss this (I've added it
to the Cc list). I'd also recommend that you hang out on IRC at
irc.freenode.net, the #screen channel. Look for "sadrul"; he'd be the
one mentoring for that project, and he wrote the initial implementation
you found on the devel list and in the separate git repository.

Terminal VIM run from xargs closes my GNU Screen window

Hello,

The below command causes my Screen window to close:

  $ touch a b c && ls -1 a b c | xargs vim
  Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal
  [then Screen window closes!]

There is no problem if I do the above outside of Screen (e.g., my
terminal window does not exit). And if I take xargs out of the
equation my Screen window does not close, e.g., this works fine:

  $ vim a b c

I'm not sure if this is a VIM, GNU Screen, and/or xargs issue (or
combination of one or more programs). It mostly affects my usage of
Screen, so I posted to this Screen list.

  $ screen --version
  Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06
  $ uname -a
  SunOS ... 5.10 Generic_127111-07 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200
  $ vim --version
  VIM - Vi IMproved 7.2
  ...

Regards,
Ethan

Security bug - Password ignored


Hi!

Because this problem was found in the screen-users mailing list in 2004,
again 2008, and is still present, I'm writing to screen-devel:
I'm using screen in a ssh-Terminal (Putty)

.screenrc:
password
-> starting screen says "/home/Andreas/.screenrc: password: window required"

.screenrc:
password sg-md5-crypted
--> Screen asks for a password, but I can reattach with any/empty
password! (Screen asks for a a password!!)
So the user (typically typing in the correct password) believes,
that his sessions are secured, but they aren't!
Please tell me what to do ALSO via Email!

Thanks, Andrew

Why not nonblock by default?


Does anyone know, is there any particular reason why we don't make
nonblock the default? It's an annoyance to users when a display gets
hung and any windows connected with it get stuck, especially since
novice users are unlikely to realize that "nonblock 1" won't affect the
buggered display, and may not think to do C-a : at % nonblock on

I'd like to propose that the default value for defnonblock be changed
from "off" to something like, I dunno, 8 ? Or lower, if there's no
particular reason why we shouldn't.

[patch] DECKPM support

I've added support for Key Position Mode, which makes it possible to
effectively remap modifier and function keys on some DEC terminals.

>From ab7e813b84dcaf8d13479a662ba0014d25231143 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Brian Templeton <bpt <at> tunes.org>
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 01:33:58 -0500
Subject: [PATCH] Enable Key Position Mode on DEC VT420 terminals.

The key mapping (defined in kpm.c) uses a modified Dvorak layout and
maps the Lock key to Control.

sigaction


Does screen still attempt to support platforms that
do not provide reliable signals?  Is there any reason
not to modify the code to use sigaction instead?

It would be nice to remove the sigset/signal/sigvec
checks from the configury and modify the code to
use sigaction.  Would there be any objection to
incorporating such a patch?
