Resize GNU screen windows with a mouse

I love the way I can resize windows in vim using the mouse.

Is it possible to do the same in GNU screen? If not, is there an alternative to screen that supports this functionality?

I use screen all the time, and change the window size effortlessly, without an issue. It's whatever command is running inside the screen that needs to be able to resize as well.

I agree with Roy - I resize windows all the time, and I only run things in screen. In fact, I can't think of the last time I kept a terminal up for more than 1 minute that wasn't running screen permanently.

Even with Putty from a windows box, it works.

Even with Putty from a windows box, ssh'ed into localhost running cygwin/sshd, running screen, it works.

Maybe there's something in your .screenrc or even your shell's .rc file that's preventing resize?

I think Terminator is probably what you're looking for.

Note that I've never used GNU Screen or Terminator, so I'm relying on the following information:

1. According to the intro to the Wikpedia article about GNU Screen, it's main purpose is for showing "multiple separate terminal sessions inside a single terminal window".
2. The header on Terminator's site on Launchpad says, "the main focus is arranging terminals in grids".
3. The screenshots seem to be displaying similar features.
4. I've read a little bit in passing when they've been mentioned on blogs, and heard a bit in podcast segments. My memory of what they said is also in agreement with the answer.
