My Development Environment, Part 1: GNU Screen

I really wish there was a nice way to run nested screens, I like having screen run locally, but I always want to be able to easily attach and detach from screen sessions on my server. I know I can escape them with keyboard shortcuts, but its confusing and I have never managed to get used to it, so I generally do server screen sessions in a seperate terminal

I use backtick(`) as the meta key and that works till I'm 2 levels nested. I can do `+p or ``+p to go to the next screen window at the 1st or 2nd level this way. However, 3rd level doesn't work, unless I set a different meta key on the 3rd machine. Having some shortcut to select the current nesting level would be awesome :)

I just use a different prefix on the remote machine. Would that help?
