On the contrary vim works very well with screen. ctrl-a is used by vim
to increment a character by I don't need it, so that while using vim
it can freely switch to other screens. For the bash shell I use the
vi key binding. Type "esc 0" will move to the beginning just the same
as vim. In fact programs (including bash) that use readline should
use vi key binding by customizing the ~/.inputrc
# set editing mode to vi-like key binding
set editing-mode vi
set keymap vi
set convert-meta on
I used to puzzle why edit command key for bash is so hard to memorise,
it turned out that the default key binding for bash is emacs.
