My .screenrc

As per request, here’s my .screenrc:

# skip the startup message
startup_message off

# UTF-8 everywhere
defutf8 on

# Automatically detach on hangup.
autodetach on

# If a screen dies, don't freeze the whole screen waiting for it.
nonblock on

# Change default scrollback value for new windows
defscrollback 10000
scrollback 10000

# start with visual bell as default
vbell off
vbell_msg "Bell on %t (%n)"

# look and feel
caption always "%3n %t%? @%u%?%? [%h]%?%=%c"
termcapinfo xterm 'hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=07:ds=\E]2;screen07'
hardstatus alwaysignore
hardstatus alwayslastline '%{gW}%-w%{.wb}%n %t%{-}%+w %=%{.w}'

activity "Activity in %t (%n)"

Gives you this.

I shamelessly stole this from someone on the Something Awful Forums.
