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.
