With default settings you can send the escape key to an application |
| 7 |
(like a shell) by pressing "C-a a". |

escape ^Uu |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
in your .screenrc should bind "C-u" to as escape key and "C-u u" to send |
| 17 |
escape key to shell (deleting line in this case). You can change this |
| 18 |
after startup by pressing "C-a :". I documented my own .screenrc here: |
