and just use screen -r to get the console.
I strongly recommend switching to tmux. I stuck with screen for many years, been using it since the early 90s, but finally made the switch about a year ago...finally got sick of screen's bugs, quirks, piss-poor unicode support, and effective abandonment as an actively-developed project. it took me about half an hour to configure it so that the transition was non-traumatic. after a few days, i wouldn't even consider switching back, any more than i'd switch back from mutt to elm.
The one thing I miss from screen is built in zmodem capture. Okay, so this is a bit esoteric these days, and I guess I should not complain about it and instead send a patch to tmux :)
