===== Default Keybindings =====

None.

===== Syntax =====

  * ''**bell_msg** [//message//]''

===== Description =====

When a bell character is sent to a background window, ''screen'' displays
a notification in the message line.  The notification message can be
redefined 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 parameter, the
current message is shown.
