screen: Window Groups

 
 6.7 Window Groups
 =================
 
 Screen provides a method for grouping windows together.  Windows can be
 organized in a hierarchical fashion, resembling a tree structure.  New
 screens are created using the 'screen' command while new groups are
 created using 'screen //group'.  SeeScreen Command.
 
    Once a new group is created, it will act as a container for windows
 and even other groups.  When a group is selected, you will see the
 output of the 'windowlist' command, allowing you to select a window
 inside.  If there are no windows inside a group, use the 'screen'
 command to create one.  Once inside a group, using the commands 'next'
 and 'prev' will switch between windows only in that group.  Using the
 'windowlist' command will give you the opportunity to leave the group
 you are in.  SeeWindowlist.
 
  -- Command: group [grouptitle]
      (none)
      Change or show the group the current window belongs to.  Windows
      can be moved around between different groups by specifying the name
      of the destination group.  Without specifying a group, the title of
      the current group is displayed.
 
    Using groups in combination with layouts will help create a
 multi-desktop experience.  One group can be assigned for each layout
 made.  Windows can be made, split, and organized within each group as
 desired.  Afterwhich, switching between groups can be as easy as
 switching layouts.
