[screen-devel] regex support for screen

[Edward Peschko]

All,

As many people on screen-users do, I miss (very much) not having
screen regex support. It's a pretty big hole in screen support, both
in functionality, and in its ability to mimic vim keybindings.

Is there any patched version of screen that supports a regex engine
like PCRE, and that can have Ctrl-a <esc> ? search, say for [A-Z]+ or
\d+ in the screen buffer?

That, and only having one paste-able buffer via (ctrl-a ] ), vs say 52
 paste-able buffers (via ctrl-a \ <bufferletter>) are my two major
frustrations with screen..
