almost worked… but for the missing backslash before the closing 15 in the executed command string (to send a RETURN keypress at the end of the command).

Let’s try that screen command again then:

C-a: at “#” stuff “execute in all windows15″

Thanks for the multiple buffer execute: I’m taking another shot at installing your elisp on my new macbookpro right now to try it out…

Hi Gaz,

It looks like WordPress ate the command you use in screen

I’ve made a quick elisp command that allows you to send the same command to multiple buffers chosen with ido. Let me know if it is what you need.

This is pretty neat… but something I can’t live without is a way to select several terminals and execute the same text in them: in screen I use

Is there an easy way to select (via buffer-name regex or similar) a subset of terminals in elisp, and then squirt the same command into each one?

@Robert – yes I could do that, but I quite like my emacs shell-wrappers

@Chris – thanks for the config… not sure I’m going to need screen though.

That’s what I do too. In my .screenrc:

startup_message off
escape “^\\\”
deflogin off
defscrollback 8192
term xterm
vbell_msg “bell”

“You might be thinking that screen + PuTTY would work but that replaces some of the shortcuts I use all the time (C-a for example).”

Or you could tell screen to use something other than C-a.
