I have noticed a weird behavior in GNU screen
session while using arrow keys. I'm sure it is caused because of a change in setting/configuration. I'm looking here for the root cause of it.
Problem caused: Whenever, I want to switch to view the list of the bash sessions in attached screen using arrow keys, I couldn't. I had to use number keys to move to different bash sessions. Also, while using VIM
, I couldn't traverse using arrow keys.
Problem solution: I could fixed it using the reset command for GNU screen
session I had.
However, I'm still not sure what caused the issue.

check the TERM settings in your shell, and in the screen tabs. If your terminal is being set to VT-100, or a terminal that doesn't interpret the arrow keys as arrows, that could be the culprit. Or it may be that screen is trying to set TERM toscreen
, but you don't have the screen termcap installed. Try runningscreen -T xterm
and see if you get the expected behavior.
