Bug Description

Dear Friends,

Trying to change escape sequence using the F9 menu seems to succeed because it persists in the menu after I close and re-open the menu and press the item.

But it does not actually change the escape sequence because the escape sequence remains Ctrl-A, for example. Pressing my chosen escape sequence, Ctrl-K, for example, doesn't escape.

I've tried removing ~/.byobu but that doesn't help.

UPDATE: This issue is only in tmux backend. Using the screen backend doesn't show this issue.

Thanks and Blessings,
Shahar

Will you make a maintenance release for the precise version?

  [ Jake Biesinger and Dustin Kirkland ]
  * usr/share/byobu/keybindings/common, usr/share/byobu/keybindings/f-
    keys.screen, usr/share/byobu/keybindings/f-keys.screen.disable,

    usr/share/doc/byobu/help.tmux.txt: LP: #945069
    - unbind ctrl-left/right/up/down in byobu
      + previously was used to resize splits
      + some users unfortunately expect ctrl-left/right to move the
        cursor around words
    - resizing splits is something that happens relatively infrequently,
      so bind these to shift-alt-up/down/left/right
    - use alt-left/right to move between windows
    - use alt-up/down to move between sessions
    - source the disable bindings just before sourcing the byobu bindings,
      this enables a clean undo of bindings
    - document the changes in the help text
