Just learned about the screen command on linux - it is genius. I love it. However, the actual terminal/prompt in screen looks and behaves differently than my standard bash prompt. That is, the colors aren't the same, tab completion doesn't seem to work, etc.
Is there a way I can tell screen to behave just like a normal (at least, normal as in what I am used to) bash prompt ?
Additional Information
I am connecting via ssh from a Mac (Terminal) to a headless linux box (Ubuntu). After logging in, I have TERM=xterm-color
and when I run screen I have TERM=screen
.
Am going to try the suggestions below to see if I can change the $TERM
value first.
