- Command: escape xy
-
(none)
Set the command character to x and the character generating a
literal command character to y (just like with the `-e'
option). Each argument is either a single character, a two-character
sequence of the form `^x' (meaning C-x), a backslash followed
by an octal number (specifying the ASCII code of the character), or a
backslash followed by a second character, such as `\^' or
`\\'. The default is `^Aa', but `"' is recommended by
one of the authors.
- Command: defescape xy
-
(none)
Set the default command characters. This is equivalent to the command
escape
except that it is useful for multiuser sessions only.
In a multiuser session
escape
changes the command character of the calling user, where
defescape
changes the default command characters for users that
will be added later.
- Command: meta
-
(C-a a)
Send the command character (C-a) to the process in the current
window. The keystroke for this command is the second parameter to the
`-e' command line switch (see section Invoking Screen
), or the
escape
.screenrc directive.
- Command: command
-
(none)
This command has the same effect as typing the screen escape character
(C-a). It is probably only useful for key bindings.
See section Bindkey.
