#Linux Screen Screen is a handy utility to allow multiple tabs or split screens in text based terminal. It is particularly useful for connecting over ssh. For example, you could run a long running task like compiling etc and continue working in another screen. It can be installed from:
sudo apt-get install screen
Command include:
Ctrl-a c #Create a new terminal
Ctrl-a n #Cycle through the terminals available
Ctrl-a d #Exit screen
Note screen is still running and you can reconnect later using screen -r when you reconnect
Ctrl-a S #Split the screen
Ctrl-a Tab #Switch between split screens
You can use Ctrl-a n to select a terminal for a split screen
