screen: Bell

 
 11.4 Bell
 =========
 
  -- Command: bell_msg [message]
      (none)
      When a bell character is sent to a background window, 'screen'
      displays a notification in the message line.  The notification
      message can be re-defined by this command.  Each occurrence of '%'
      in MESSAGE is replaced by the number of the window to which a bell
      has been sent, and each occurrence of '^G' is replaced by the
      definition for bell in your termcap (usually an audible bell).  The
      default message is
 
           'Bell in window %n'
 
      An empty message can be supplied to the 'bell_msg' command to
      suppress output of a message line ('bell_msg ""').  Without a
      parameter, the current message is shown.
 
  -- Command: vbell [state]
      ('C-a C-g')
      Sets or toggles the visual bell setting for the current window.  If
      'vbell' is switched to 'on', but your terminal does not support a
      visual bell, the visual bell message is displayed in the status
      line when the bell character is received.  Visual bell support of a
      terminal is defined by the termcap variable 'vb'.  SeeVisual
      Bell (termcap)Bell, for more information on visual bells.  The
      equivalent terminfo capability is 'flash'.
 
      Per default, 'vbell' is 'off', thus the audible bell is used.
 
  -- Command: vbell_msg [message]
      (none)
      Sets the visual bell message.  MESSAGE is printed to the status
      line if the window receives a bell character (^G), 'vbell' is set
      to 'on' and the terminal does not support a visual bell.  The
      default message is 'Wuff, Wuff!!'.  Without a parameter, the
      current message is shown.
 
  -- Command: vbellwait sec
      (none)
      Define a delay in seconds after each display of 'screen' 's visual
      bell message.  The default is 1 second.
