People who use Emacs and Screen: What do you use as your Screen hot key? C-a is getting in the way of "beginning of line".

I was going to say something about tmux, but since it uses C-b, you've pretty much got the same problem... I've just learned to live with it, but then I also don't use Emacs much, which reduces my reliance on those shortcuts some. (Not totally; they're great in the shell, etc.)

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
