Description Stefan Assmann 2009-06-16 12:26:09 UTC
Description of problem:
When inside a screen session it's normally possible to kill the current window with the keyboard shortcuts C-a k or C-a C-k. In F11 this does not work, typing either of these combinations has no effect.

       C-a C-k     (kill)        Destroy current window.

screen-4.0.3-13.fc11.x86_64

The binding is changed in /etc/screenrc to C-a K. C-a ? shows all bindings.

Thanks Miroslav! A note in the man page might be handy to keep the confusion at a minimum.

Comment 3 Miroslav Lichvar 2009-09-25 12:50:43 UTC
The default config in screen-4.0.3-15.fc12 has C-a k binded to kill again.
