Jump between splits with CTRL+A TAB, and remove them with CTRL+A X.

i’ve got the vertical and horizontal splits working, thanks very much for the hint.
BUT how do i navigate to the other splits screens? i’m currently stuck in the first split.
Also HOW do I undo it? How do I unsplit it back to normal screen without having to exit byobu?

thanks again!

Also, on some distros this is what happens:

There’s no prompts after I split?

No, I don’t see any necessary connection between one or the other. I generally allow screen to run on a remote machine and simply reconnect to it after issuing the ssh command.

But maybe I misunderstand your question … :|

A lot I connect to are Solaris boxes so I can never reattach to my sessions there.

Splitting doesn’t work so great with byobu under Ubuntu. Yet again the AUR shows its power by taking something from another distro and improving on it

If you’re using byobu, it’s C-a | (pipe symbol). If you installed from source in 4.0.3, you might not have the patch applied. Check the screen help pages (C-a ?) and see if the command is listed. ;)

Can you tell me what is the shortcut to vertical window split?
