>From looking back at the archives (all the way to 1987), I see that ^A has been the default command key for Screen from the beginning. I know that this can be changed on a per-user or even per installation basis, but I'm wondering whether that's the best approach, since users will become familiar with the universal default.
And yet, the default binding conflicts with the default binding C-a for `move-beginning-of-line' in Emacs, which presumably affects many users. Rather than have lots of different workarounds (http://emacswiki.org/emacs/GnuScreen#toc1), might it make sense to change the default binding? (One of the users on the Emacs Wiki page suggests C-; but notes no luck with experiments trying to bind it.) _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
