| + | ======Synopsis: | ||
| + | [[window]] create | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Description: | ||
| + | This command creates a new physical screen in a new TTY. | ||
| + | If you are running under GNU Screen or Tmux, (normal) it | ||
| + | will open a new screen/tmux window and put a new window in it. | ||
| + | If you are running locally under X Window, it will open a new | ||
| + | xterm and put a new window in it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you are running under BOTH X window and GNU Screen or tmux, then | ||
| + | you may want to use /[[set wserv_type]], | ||
| + | **XTERM** or **SCREEN** to force one or the other. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you try to create a new XTERM screen, your client needs to be able to | ||
| + | connect to the X server given in your DISPLAY environment variable, | ||
| + | or [[window create]] will fail. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This command might not exist if whoever built it # | ||
| + | in config.h. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you want to get rid of your new screen, use [[window delete]]. | ||
| + | Deleting a screen does not [[window kill]] the window. | ||
| + | Use [[window delete_kill]] for that | ||
| + | |||
