Andrew, Don't do it man. Don't remap screen key sequences. I had the same issue. This is how I ultimately solved it. I mentally trained myself to think of screen as a room that I need to do a Ctrl-A in order to get in there. So, for bash, It is NOT a big deal anyway. Train your fingers to do a Ctrl-A then a It is just one extra keystroke. I got used to it within a week. -George On 10/30/15 7:13 AM, Scott Robbins wrote: > On Fri, Oct 30, 2015 at 10:53:29AM +0100, Andrew Holway wrote: >> 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.
