# Incremental search for window selection of GNU Screen
This program implements an alternative window selection functionality
to [GNU Screen][screen]. It provides incremental search by relying on
the `completing-read` functions of [Emacs].
# Installation
You can enable `ssw` by creating a shortcut in your `~/.screenrc`.
For example:
```
bind b screen $HOME/src/ssw
```
`ssw` starts Emacs as a sub-process, but it should start reasonably
fast because it does not read the user's init file. If that's not
fast enough and there's a running Emacs daemon, which has already
loaded ssw.el, then this might work as well:
```
bind b screen $HOME/src/ssw-emacsclient
```
# Demo
# Emacs
Since the incremental window selection method is implemented in Emacs,
`ssw` has a very simple screen library. Based on it `ssw` provides a
new command for Emacs users: `ssw-insert-window` inserts the content
of a screen window into an Emacs buffer.
