NAME

6       byobu-ctrl-a - Configure Byobu's ctrl-a behavior
7

DESCRIPTION

10       byobu-ctrl-a  is an interactive program that allows a user to configure
11       the behavior of the 'ctrl-a' key sequence.
12
13       Traditional GNU screen(1) uses ctrl-a as its  escape  character,  while
14       GNU  emacs(1)  uses  ctrl-a  to move the cursor to the beginning of the
15       line.  This conflict has caused unending amounts of grief among Screen,
16       Byobu, and Emacs-mode users.
17
18       Thus,  this program exists to allow each user to choose the behavior of
19       ctrl-a in their local environment.
