Currently I have the tilde: escape ~~ But previously used to use C-z: escape ^za What does eveyone else use? (2) Also, to further muddy the waters, what is the benefit of using ElScreen: http://www.morishima.net/~naoto/software/elscreen/ ElScreen sounds good, is an "all emacs" solution, but surely it is not usable in the same way as GNU screen, for instance would it be possible to resume an ElScreen session from a remote machine (without using GNU screen as well)?
