Yes <ESC> is an elegant replacement for the control char. But this only works for me when the char character is in the definition of the key being bound and not when the control character is in the command itself. - On both mac and ubuntu server. ^B (literally) give a left-arrow. here is my final binding: bind ! eval colon 'stuff "! zsh -c \" \""' 'stuff ^B^B^B' (three left arrows) Eric _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
