I'm trying to get a setup with GNU screen in gnome terminal that I'm happy with (emacs user). I really like having Ctrl+^ as my GNU screen command key (as it doesn't interfere with any emacs key bindings http://emacswiki.org/emacs/GnuScreen).

This key combination works fine when I ssh into my Ubuntu box, but not directly in gnome-terminal or logging directly into console. Input of press Ctrl+^ seems to be completely ignored by both.

Any ideas on how to fix this or things that'd help diagnose/fix this would be greatly appreciated.

stty -a # gnome-terminal settings
speed 38400 baud; rows 24; columns 80; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = M-^?; eol2 = M-^?;
swtch = M-^?; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W;
lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

  • how have you set ctr-^ to be your shortcut, or was it set by default?

Doh! There's a .screenrc on this system that is overriding command-line arguments. Problem solved.
