NAME

       byobu-ctrl-a - Configure Byobu's ctrl-a behavior

DESCRIPTION

       byobu-ctrl-a  is  an interactive program that allows a user to configure the behavior of the 'ctrl-a' key
       sequence.

       Traditional GNU screen(1) uses ctrl-a as its escape character, while GNU emacs(1) uses ctrl-a to move the
       cursor to the beginning of the line.  This conflict has caused unending amounts of  grief  among  Screen,
       Byobu, and Emacs-mode users.

       Thus, this program exists to allow each user to choose the behavior of ctrl-a in their local environment.
