screen: Bell
11.4 Bell
=========
-- Command: bell_msg [message]
(none)
When a bell character is sent to a background window, 'screen'
displays a notification in the message line. The notification
message can be re-defined by this command. Each occurrence of '%'
in MESSAGE is replaced by the number of the window to which a bell
has been sent, and each occurrence of '^G' is replaced by the
definition for bell in your termcap (usually an audible bell). The
default message is
'Bell in window %n'
An empty message can be supplied to the 'bell_msg' command to
suppress output of a message line ('bell_msg ""'). Without a
parameter, the current message is shown.
-- Command: vbell [state]
('C-a C-g')
Sets or toggles the visual bell setting for the current window. If
'vbell' is switched to 'on', but your terminal does not support a
visual bell, the visual bell message is displayed in the status
line when the bell character is received. Visual bell support of a
terminal is defined by the termcap variable 'vb'. ⇒Bell,
for more information on visual bells. The equivalent terminfo
capability is 'flash'.
Per default, 'vbell' is 'off', thus the audible bell is used.
-- Command: vbell_msg [message]
(none)
Sets the visual bell message. MESSAGE is printed to the status
line if the window receives a bell character (^G), 'vbell' is set
to 'on' and the terminal does not support a visual bell. The
default message is 'Wuff, Wuff!!'. Without a parameter, the
current message is shown.
-- Command: vbellwait sec
(none)
Define a delay in seconds after each display of 'screen' 's visual
bell message. The default is 1 second.
