Re: alpha as window number?

[David Collins]

I have the following in my .screenrc to get to windows > 9

# bind keys '^a - [0-9]' to screens 10-19
bind - command -c select10
bind -c select10 0 select 10
bind -c select10 1 select 11
bind -c select10 2 select 12
bind -c select10 3 select 13
bind -c select10 4 select 14
bind -c select10 5 select 15
bind -c select10 6 select 16
bind -c select10 7 select 17
bind -c select10 8 select 18
bind -c select10 9 select 19
