Is it possible to insert a spacer on the left side of gnu screen?

Question

Some monitors cut off the leftmost column in a virtual terminal. Is it possible with gnu screen to begin at the second column, so as to not have any cells that are not visible?

I would be interested in any other ways of dealing with this cut off column when using gnu screen.

I am aware of the possibility of a width 1 vertical region on the left. I am looking for something at least a little less cumbersome.

Answer 1

Try splitting the screen into 2 parts vertically and adjust the width of the rightmost screen to about 95%.

ctrla + | to slipt the screen

ctrla + tab to move to right

ctrla + c to start new terminal on the right

ctrla + :resize 95% to make rightmost terminal use 95% of the space.

Adjust the percent value according to your needs.
