--- Begin Message ---Package: screen Version: 4.0.3-14 Severity: normal I can cannot change the binding of the spacebar in screen. If you start screen with just this configuration file: bind ' ' info you will find that when you start screen, ^A-space will show the window info, but once you press Enter, ^A-space will do 'next screen' and never show info again. This is true even though ^A-? shows space as bound to 'info': info sp i I used 'info' as an example, but there is no action that can be properly bound to space, e.g. 'other'. This worked in older versions of screen. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages screen depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.11 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-6 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncursesw5 5.7+20100313-5 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l screen recommends no packages. screen suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/screenrc changed: deflogin on vbell on defscrollback 1024 bind ^k bind ^\ bind \\ quit bind K kill bind I login on bind O login off bind } history termcapinfo vt100 dl=5\E[M hardstatus off termcapinfo xterm*|rxvt*|kterm*|Eterm* hs:ts=\E]0;:fs=\007:ds=\E]0;\007 hardstatus string "%h%? users: %u%?" termcapinfo xterm*|linux*|rxvt*|Eterm* OP termcapinfo xterm 'is=\E[r\E[m\E[2J\E[H\E[?7h\E[?1;4;6l' defnonblock 5 escape ^zZ bind f bind ^z next bind ' ' info bind - prev bind p screen /letc/hardcopyprint bind x bind ^x bind L reset hardcopy_append on vbell_msg " Wuff " screen -t login 0 /bin/bash screen -t startup 9 /letc/multi_save -- no debconf information
