(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.
(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. See Bell,
for more information on visual bells.
The equivalent terminfo capability is flash.
Per default, vbell is ‘off’, thus the audible bell is used.
(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.
(none)
Define a delay in seconds after each display of screen ’s visual
bell message. The default is 1 second.
