How do I display the current “session” name or “sockname” of a screen session in the status bar?

Question

I run multiple screen sessions each created with \'screen -S name\' and I would like to be able to display in the status bar the name

Answer 1

The easiest way to display the sessionname is

  C-a : 
  sessionname

(without specifying a name after sessionname)

See the "CUSTOMIZATION" section in man screen
