Re: Remapping ^a

[Michael Grant]

I'm guessing that your º key now generates a multi-byte sequence.

Here's how I solved this problem for a multi-byte function key:

First, you need to find what the sequence your º key generates.  I did
something like this:

cat -v
^[[15~    <--here I pressed my f5 key as an example

then in my .screenrc file I added:

bindkey "\033[15~" command

and when I press f5, that is my new screen escape key.
