Using screen: splitting screens

It's been a long time since I wrote about screen, but here is another one

It sometimes is useful to show two screen next to each other. In screen you can split the screen with C-a S. You're terminal will be split in two parts, one above the other.

The screen you were using is shown in the top part. The other part will be empty. To move to the other part press C-a TAB. You'll notice that this screen is empty. To make this screen useful you can switch to another screen by pressing one of the screen switch keys.

C-a TAB should also be used for switching back. The only thing that's left to say here is when you've created to many splits, you can type C-a Q to reset the screen to have only one screen visible.
