With default settings you can send the escape key to an application (like a shell) by pressing "C-a a". > I assume from the manual that I can re-bind keys to avoid this > problem... my first guess was to bung "bind '^a'" into my .screenrc - > but that doesn't do the trick. Does anyone here have the correct > incantation? escape ^Uu in your .screenrc should bind "C-u" to as escape key and "C-u u" to send escape key to shell (deleting line in this case). You can change this after startup by pressing "C-a :". I documented my own .screenrc here: http://www.der-frank.org/dotfiles/_screen/_screenrc HTH, kind regards, Frank. -- Sigmentation fault -- [email protected] mailing list
