Subject: RE: Shell hangs when using "screen" and "emacs"
Hmmm, difficult to debug. The best would be to have a key logger to see
what keystrokes you type and then work out what screen is actually
trying to do.
I like screen but it does not work well with bash in emacs mode using
the standard key bindings.
Try Ctrl+a " to get a list of windows if it freezes up again.
It could also be the bash session itself that freezes up. I know it can
do that but I can't for the life of me remember what the shortcut was to
freeze or unfreeze it.
Not a very helpful reply, I share your pain. :-)
Regards

Hi.
I log onto your servers using SSH, and typically run emacs within a
screen session. I try and use shortcuts (for example Ctrl plus some
key) in emacs, but whenever I type an erroneous shortcut the entire
shell freezes and I'm forced to kill the window and restart the SSH
session.
I think this problem has something to do with using emacs within a
screen session, but I'm not sure how to debug it. Has anyone had the
same problem, and knows how to correct it?
Regrads,
kenneho

I remembered that there was a package in the debian archives that "is like
screen for emacs", but then I stumbled across this:

Hope that may help you out.
