Public bug reported:
Byobu now offers not to use ctrl-a as its escape sequence because it
interferes with Emacs. However, on choosing 'Emacs mode (go to beginning
of line)' when prompted, I found that neither F12 nor the alternative
escape sequence I choose via F9 did anything, despite the implication
that they would.
To reproduce:
$ byobu-ctrl-a
Configure Byobu's ctrl-a behavior...
When you press ctrl-a in Byobu, do you want it to operate in:
(1) Emacs mode (go to beginning of line)
(2) Screen mode (GNU Screen's default escape sequence)
Note that:
- F12 also operates as Screen escape in Byobu
- You can press F9 and choose your escape character
- You can run 'byobu-ctrl-a' at any time to change your selection
Select [1 or 2]: 1
$ byobu
F12 c (<- expect new screen, get 'c')
