You may also compare escapes generated by those keys between outside and inside of screen by typing 'Ctrl+v, home' and 'Ctrl+v, End'. To fix this you can try adding something like this to your screenrc termcapinfo xterm @7=\E[4~:kh=\E[1~ (magic letters are from 'man terminfo') Btw, what worse problem does it solve? BR, Amadeusz
