The following are some common tips:

Repeat the escape key to quickly switch between the current window and the previous window. For example, switch from window 1 to window 3 by pressing ^ Z3, and then switch between window 1 and window 3 by pressing ^ Z.

Use of window segmentation: split by ^ ZSS in uppercase), and then use ^ Z Switch to the new split screen and use ^ Z <数字> Switch the window in the new screen. ^ ZX can be used to end the split.

Paging: After screen is used, you cannot use Shift-PageUp or Shift-PageDown to flip pages. You can press ^ Z [to enter the copy mode. You can use the same shortcut key as vi to view the history page. Finally, Press Esc to cancel the copy mode.

Selection of the escape key:

The default Ctrl-A conflicts with the Add 1 function of vi. If you are used to Ctrl-A unfortunately, when you use vim without screen, you will inadvertently press Ctrl-A to change the number nearby. Therefore, it is best to change it to another key.

Frequently Used screen shortcuts are on the left hand side. Therefore, escape should be placed on the left side of the keyboard in three columns. Ctrl-Q and Ctrl-S cannot be bound when they are used by the terminal. Ctrl-'screen is not supported. Ctrl-W conflicts with the switch window command of vim, and Ctrl-D conflicts with pages of vim, ctrl-X conflicts with vim's minus 1 function, Ctrl-E conflicts with vim's scrolling screen, and Ctrl-C is a very common program to stop. Therefore, only Ctrl-Z can be used. Ctrl-Z is used to pause the program. It is not commonly used. You can set it to the screen escape key. Press Ctrl-Z z to pause the program.
