GNU Screen and arrow keys

GNU Screen and arrow keys

[lore]

My emacs lives inside a GNU Screen session.

When I say M-<left> to promote current heading I get '3C'.

googlin' around I found:

http://www.nabble.com/Some-keys-are-not-giving-the-expected-result-when-pressed-td11192176.html

Everything works properly using emacs outside screen.


Is out there a workaround for this? I need screen :)

Thank you in advance for your help.


* My setup
  - gnome-terminal            2.18.4
  - GNU Screen                4.00.03
  - emacs                     23.0.50.1
  - org.el                    5.19a

I'm a screen/TTY emacs user and I don't see the same behaviour. What is
your TERM value outside and inside screen?

If you hit ESC-<left> do you see the same thing?

xterm, outside

And if within screen you set your TERM to xterm-256color (for example)
and then start emacs?

It works properly with that TERM.

I "solved" changing gnome-terminal with unicode rxvt.

Thank you for your help Phil.

I thought changing TERM solved it for you? :/

If you use the 256 colour one I mentioned you can use color-theme (with
close matching colours) for TTY emacs too.

RXVT is _very_ quick though :)
