I recommend using tmux as an alternative to screen, which lets you use multi-pane windows, and also lets you keep a live session going even when you get disconnected. I don't like the default prefix of ctrl-b, but I find alt-a to be suitable. To get this, add the following to your .tmux.conf file:
Then type 'tmux' to load it up.
i use the ` key, which I have yet to find a use for in any situation ever. since 90% of the time, the next key you're going to press is a number key, this works really well.

The only disadvantage is that now you can't copy and paste without losing your backticks, and possibly triggering an action you didn't intend. I haven't yet run into a situation where this was relevant though.
