Equivalent of Ctrl-a Ctrl-a in byobu (switching windows)

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4973 / 1 Year ago, tue, may 2, 2023, 9:48:15

In GNU screen, I could type Ctrl+A twice to switch between two windows.

In byobu, I can't see how to do that. F12+Ctrl+A doesn't work, and I can't find anything in the manual.

To be clear, I do not want to change the escape sequence to Ctrl+A. I want a key sequence that would switch between current and previous window.

I just moved my .screenrc out of the way and tried this.

On my machine (Oneiric) both F12-Ctrl-a and Ctrl-a-Ctrl-a worked exactly as I would expect.

I think you have another problem? Maybe something else is swallowing your key presses?
