Thanks! > Just a question though. Why is ctrl-a changed to ctrl-g? On Ubuntu (and most Linux systems), the default shell uses emacs keybindings. As such, ctrl-a is very often used (if you're not an emacs user) to move the cursor to the beginning of the line. The default screen escape sequence, ctrl-a, breaks that. We have had extensive discussions, and the consensus was that the escape sequence would need to be changed. We've settle on ctrl-g, which was proposed by Nick Barcet. Perhaps he can attest as to why ctrl-g was chosen? Nick? Perhaps we should conduct a poll in Launchpad? I'd think that we can change this escape sequence pretty much any time between now and Jaunty's official release in April. But I don't want to change it more than once. Shall we open the floor for other suggested escape sequences? Please explain your rationale for why your escape sequence is better than ctrl-a and ctrl-g...
