NAME
byobu-ctrl-a - Configure Byobu's ctrl-a behavior
DESCRIPTION
byobu-ctrl-a is an interactive program that allows a user to configure the behavior of the
'ctrl-a' key sequence.
Traditional GNU screen(1) uses ctrl-a as its escape character, while GNU emacs(1) uses
ctrl-a to move the cursor to the beginning of the line. This conflict has caused unending
amounts of grief among Screen, Byobu, and Emacs-mode users.
Thus, this program exists to allow each user to choose the behavior of ctrl-a in their lo-
cal environment.
