Here is a short list of some very neat tricks.

Starting a new session screen
Reattach to a session screen -r
Leave a session ^A d
Open another window ^A c
Change to a window ^A number
Change to next window ^A space
Change window via the window list ^A “
Add a split region ^A S
Jump between split regions ^A tab
Close region ^A X
Close all the other regions ^A Q
Enter “copy mode” (useful for scrollback!) ^A [
Watch for silence ^A _
Watch for activity ^A M
Protect screen with password ^A x

As always looking through info and man pages can provide a raft of information about tools and sometimes uncover tricks that you might of otherwise not known about!
