ssh escape chars

~. Disconnect.

~^Z Background ssh.

~# List forwarded connections.

~& Background ssh at logout when waiting for forwarded connection / X11 sessions to terminate.

~? Display a list of escape characters.

~B Send a BREAK to the remote system (only useful for SSH protocol version 2 and if the peer supports it).

~C Open command line. Currently this allows the addition of port forwardings using the -L and -R options (see above). It also allows the cancellation of existing remote port-forwardings using -KR[bind_address:]port. !command allows the user to execute a local command if the PermitLocalCommand option is enabled in ssh_config(5). Basic help is available, using the -h option.

~R Request rekeying of the connection (only useful for SSH protocol version 2 and if the peer supports it).

256 colors - screen

By default, screen is not aware that it is running in a 256 color
capable xterm. To make programs in screen recognize this feature, you
need to set three things in your ~/.screenrc:

# terminfo and termcap for nice 256 color terminal
# allow bold colors - necessary for some reason
attrcolor b ".I"
# tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground
termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
# erase background with current bg color
defbce "on"
