I'm commenting my screenrc (http://fidget.cns.ufl.edu/~pagerc/screenrc) 
in the hopes of getting people to understand what it does better.  My 
personal goal is to get the same functionality as provided by Konsole. 
Primarily the ability to move left/right one window with a direct 
keybind sequence, like alt left/right arrow.  I don't like arrow keys 
though because my hand has to move from main keys, so I changed to ",." 
instead.

If anyone from irc reads this, perhaps we should formally submit to the 
list our discussion on adding vertical splits to screen.  We discussed 
how it should function (like vim), not who/how to implement.
