Start a screen session using: screen -S sess pry This creates a session named "sess" running pry Now use ctrl-c, ctrl-c. First time you use it will ask for the session name, give it 'sess'. Next time will be automatic. The text will end up in your screen.
We are purposefully including an older version of snipMate (0.84) from mikefarmer's repo so that it works with the long list of snippets available from the scrooloose/snippets collection. The current mainline snipMate seems to be no longer compatible with those snippets, but the scrooloose collection is still the best one to use.
