I really should try to figure out a control-character that's not used by emacs or the tty driver or ??? and assign that as the meta key in screen.

I usually install Gentoo via ssh. The article I read about the removal of Linux console's backscrolling feature said it was mostly due to lack of a maintainer for that code, and that if somebody stepped forward to maintain it, it could be revived. FWOW, if you really want backscrolling on the console, you can get that with screen, but doing so would drive me nuts, since I'd have to break all my fingers to stop them from typeing ctrl-A to move the start of a line. I've switched screen's meta-character a few times, but everytime I try that I find my fingers already have something else assigned to that control character (which I had forgotten about). It would be nice if I could print out my fingers' assignment table to find an unused control character, but that doesn't seem to be how it works. -- Grant

I can appreciate and respect that response. Doing text work in X is s l u g g i s h. Changing from one application to another, which would be achieved by, say Alt-F4 on a console takes more key sequences in X, and is less than instantaneous. I don't know that I've ever experienced the sluggishness that you're talking about. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I will admit that Alt-Tabing through windows is an additional step vs Alt-F# in that you have the intermediary list that you cycle through vs just jumping directly to the desired window. The X terminal emulator tends not to occupy the whole screen - it tends to have title bars, menu items, tabs even, which just distract from the task at hand. Maybe it can be set up to take the whole screen, but that's work. And the fonts used tend to be less distinct and helpful than the 16 x 8 bitmaps I have on the console. Those seem more like preferences / settings to me. But preferences are still sufficient to drive decisions. And X windows steals useful key sequences, such as Alt-Tab. True. On an Emacs session, in three columns on a console, I can display 195 consecutive lines of a source file simultaneously. I would expect that to be the same possibility in X and on the console.
