How can I fix it?
That's usually controlled by the screenrc file. Note that you can have /etc/screenrc and separate ~/.screenrc for each user. ~/.screenrc should override /etc/screenrc. If you don't have ~/.screenrc, screen will default to /etc/screenrc. If you want an instance of screen to start with a nonstandard config file location, use.. screen -c <configfile> The setting to change, in whichever file you use, is... # # Set C-a as command prefix escape ^Aa # # Set C-b as command prefix escape ^Bb -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
