Some users tell me that they don't have an F12 key on their keyboard, Clint. I've never encountered such a keyboard, personally, but that's what they tell me... The first-time-you-press-ctrl-a thing is meant to be pretty permanent, I'm afraid, Clint. You'll be asked the question in byobu tmux or screen. You have the option of choosing to have ctrl-a behave in GNU Screen mode, or behave in GNU Emacs mode (and F12 becomes your escape). > Anyway, I think this just needs to be well documented.

Unfortunately, I don't think that the status line refreshes fast enough for this to be useful. It refreshes about once-per-second, which is eons in the scope of keypresses. I'll give that some more thought, though, as I do like the idea of a visual queue that you're in screen or tmux escape mode... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923134 Title: Some terminal shortcuts don't work within byobu-tmux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/byobu/+bug/923134/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
