GNU screen - binding Ctrl-Z to meta
 

Hello Group,

I am trying to bind Control-Z to meta key. My .screenrc is configured as follows:

I get the following error when I run screen.

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Ctrz-z in Screen
 

I used to do it for ctrl-c, but I'm not on the concerned computer so I can't look in my config file. Personally I did it to desactivate ctrl-c which closes Screen and all applications inside it, but I found out that setting it as meta for doing this isn't a good idea for several reasons.

Hello Stephane,

Thank you for your advise. However, I would still like to bind Ctrl-z to the meta key. I tried the following code but no luck.

And what error does that give you?

Hello Tink,

It does not give me any error. The key binding does not work at all.

Understood.

Perhaps that's the concerned line is:
bindkey ^c command
