[screen-devel] About remote commands with screen

[Segovia, Benjamin]

Hello,

I am a screen user and I use the remote commands (using –X …) in particular with vim (I select some code and send it to a screen session to remotely execute it). Since I needed vertical splits, I got 4.1 version and my screen+vim combination did not work anymore. I checked out the code to see the changes and I see that now, the commands are parsed in the server, therefore splitting the incoming string with spaces and so on. Therefore, this:

- X stuff “print “BOUM” ” will be now interpreted by:
 ---à The command stuff with option print and value BOUM which is not the desired behaviour

In the current version, screen can now only execute really simple things like –X stuff ls

 

I rollbacked these changes locally (from version 4.0.2) to restore the previous behaviour. Don’t you think the previous behaviour was actually better?

 

Cheers,

Ben
