How do I get out of 'screen' without typing 'exit'?

I screen -r'd into a Django server that's running and I can't simply Ctrl + C and exit out of it.

Are there any alternative ways to get out of screen?

Currently, I manually close the tab on my local PC and ssh back in, but that's becoming tiresome.

Solution

  • Ctrl-a d or Ctrl-a Ctrl-d. See the screen manual # Detach.
