martanne / abduco

abduco provides session management i.e. it allows programs to be run independently from its controlling terminal. That is programs can be detached - run in the background - and then later reattached. Together with dvtm it provides a simpler and cleaner alternative to tmux or screen.

^4 detaches

googl opened this issue · comments

Ctrl-4 works the same as Ctrl-\ on my system. I am uncertain if it is the same with other users. The distribution is NixOS-unstable with US keymap. What more information may I supply?

Also detaches for me on gentoo/Linux using st and us keyboard.

Try this in a terminal, without abduco, in the shell directly (bash, mksh, zsh...): press CTRL + V (insert next character literally) then CTRL + 4.

For me, it indeed inserted ^\, aka CTRL + .

So it is normal abduco behave this way, and it is not an issue from abduco, but from the terminal itself. :)

What I did is using CTRL + z as a detach key, as it often reserved to "put the program in the background", which abduco does quite well ;).

Many terminals map Ctrl+4 to ^\.

Closing, because this is not really an abduco issue.
