Hey
I like to use Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E a lot to navigate my insane big bash one liners but this is incompatible with Screen which has a binding to Ctrl-A. Is it possible to move the screen binding so I can have the best of both worlds?
If you only make simple use of screen, then there's always tmux. It uses ctl+b by default, and one of the reasons is the issue you mention.
(If you have a lot of complex uses of screen, then it becomes a bigger deal to learn the new keyboard shortcuts, but many people just use it's attach and deteach feature, and relearning those in tmux takes a few minutes.)
If you are interested in trying it, I have my own very simple page with links to a better page at http://srobb.net/screentmux.html
