Would you mind going into more detail about your workflow? It seems interesting, and I'd like to learn it.

You use Ctrl-Alt-F1 through Ctrl-Alt-F6 to fire up multiple terminals, right? You're saying you have screen running on one of those terminals, and then from other terminals you're somehow attaching to different windows of that one screen instance? How's that done?

It sounds pretty clever. What are the advantages of doing it that way?

Indeed, thanks! I really appreciate it!

I was hoping to hear about their workflow, though. What are the advantages of using that? How does multi display mode fit into their workflow in practice? I could try to think of use cases myself, but I prefer to learn from the experience of others whenever possible.
