Disable Ctrl+C in GNU screen?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
How can I disable the key combination Ctrl+C on GNU-screen? Actually I would have to get used to it, but I press Ctrl+C rather than Ctrl+A+D out of habit.

Ctrl+C sends the INT (interrupt) signal to the process currently in the foreground. This is an important signal to be able to send, so the best thing would be to just learn not to press that key combination by mistake.
You can also remap that key combination so that you have another control sequence that sends the INT signal. For example, you may make Ctrl+G do the same thing with the shell command
stty intr ^G
The Ctrl+C key combination will then just send a character with ASCII code 3.
Again, it would probably be less problematic to just learn to use Ctrl+C correctly.

Thank you. I'll take care of it. Unfortunately I can only use your command outside of screen. A Java or Python program runs inside. I have already pressed the wrong key combination so often that I have to do something. ;)

@uav Ah. If you are able to modify the code of the program, you could make it ignore theINTsignal completely.

That is possible, but I have posted a more general answer. ;)

Now I've found the answer myself. The instructions
defscrollback 30000
bindkey "^C" echo 'Blocked. Please use [Ctrl]+[A] + [Ctrl]+[Enter] + [Y]'
bindkey "^D" echo 'Blocked. Please use [Ctrl]+[A] + [Ctrl]+[Enter] + [Y]'
bind "^M" quit
in the file
~/.screenrc
lead to the fact that C-c only executes the echo command, thus no longer sends an interrupt. The advantage of this solution is that I don't have to change the actual Java or Python program. Please remember that running screen sessions must be restarted in order to read the new ~/.screenrc file. (This path depends on the user, e.g. /root/.screenrc or /home/user/.screenrc.)
