I want to exit 'screen' in a linux machine without terminating it (and without opening another terminal).

I saw this thread, but it was only for 'regular' key board. Which keys should I hit in mac? (connected via ssh to linux vm)

ctrl a, k didn't work

neither did command a, k

CodePudding user response：

If you want to detach from current running screen in Linux

you have to detach it by pressing Ctrl a followed by d

example:

screen -S test

new screen will open

xyz
...

Press Ctrl a and d to detach, and it will be running in background.

To check the running screens type

screen -ls

To attach particular screen type

screen -r <name of screen>

You can quit the terminal with:

Command D

Screen session will continue
