Because use of screen requires an escape character. Unsetting the escape character completely would cause screen to be relatively unusable. Originally you asked if you could bind the escape character to F12. Bruno responded with a suggestion to use bindkey. That part seemed to be satisfactory to you. I myself would never want anything like that and so didn't look at it too closely. So I deduce that you must still be continuing your question of how to set the escape key to a function key. (Probably because C-a interferes with normal keyboard use such as because Emacs uses it for beginning of line and same for bash in default emacs keybinding mode. But also because it interferes with Vi's C-a command to search forward n times for the current word which is also very useful. I find the C-z which is the job control suspend character is less often used when using screen and therefore a better choice to avoid conflicts.) I will answer that I do not know how to change the escape character to a function key. But I am sure that you don't want to unset it completely. Perhaps someone else on the mailing list will have a better suggestion.
