Agreed, the hard-status line tends to be a bit interrupty. If you choose to use tmux, you can <prefix>:set -g status off or put "set -g status off" in your ~/.tmux.conf I can then use $ tmux list-windows and $ tmux list-panes to get further information about what windows/panes I have available in any configuration (this information is in the default status bar along with the clock, but the contant repainting of the status bar gets chatty). I suspect there is similar functionality in GNU screen. -tim On October 4, 2020, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > One of them is probably hardstatus.
