I assume Ctrl-a 4 - with released Ctrl when pressing 4 works fine? Can you tell me what terminal do you use and what does Ctrl+a Ctrl-1 Ctrl+a Ctrl-2 Ctrl+a Ctrl-3 Ctrl+a Ctrl-4 Ctrl+a Ctrl-5 Ctrl+a Ctrl-6 Ctrl+a Ctrl-7 Ctrl+a Ctrl-8 Ctrl+a Ctrl-9 Ctrl+a Ctrl-0 generate? (Don't forget to press Ctrl-c after each one of those combinations, so they are not glued together) For example on xterm I have: $ 1 $ ^@ $ ^[ $ ^\ $ ^] $ ^^ $ ^_ $ ^? $ 9 $ 0 so the only ones that would work same as with released Ctrl would be 1, 9 & 0, rest would try to run bindings.
