Hi,
it is possible to create a command alias in .screenrc?
What I would like to do is to bind a command to a string that is
entered into command line mode. Screen than expands the string and
executes the command. So my .screenrc would contain something like:
alias sshhost screen -t address@hidden host
and then entering command line mode, I can type:
sshhost <RET>
and up pops a new screen.
I scanned the man page and could not fine anything like this. The
closest is binding a command to a key combo but that's not quite it;
I'll never remember the key-bindings for all the shells and other
stuff I would like to define. Also, just plopping them into
the .screenrc so that they are launched at start-up isn't what I'm
after either as many of these things are transient in nature and I'll
end up with loads of terminals that aren't being used.
thanks
Conrad
