Something similar affects me. I can't use F12 as an escape char (clashes with Guake on my desktop), so I tried remapping the escape key in Byobu's F9 menu to ctrl+V. Pressing this combo doesn't do anything, though, as long as I have tmux as a backend (even after restarting byobu). Only after switching to screen, the non-default backend, did it start working.
I'm running this version: kermit@snowwhite:~$ byobu --version byobu version 5.17 tmux 1.6 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887387 Title: byobu emacs mode escape key fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/byobu/+bug/887387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
