to do a VT100 emulation, screen detects a sequence of characters in the input stream generated by a keypress on the user's keyboard and insert the VT100 style escape sequence. IT does this by making it possible to map arbitrary commands on arbitrary sequences of characters. For standard VT100 emulation the command inserts a string in the input buffer of the window (see also command stuff in the command table).

Because the sequences generated by a keypress can change after a reattach from a different terminal type, it is possible to bind commands to the termcap name of the keys. Screen will insert the correct binding after each reattach. See the bind- key command for further details on the syntax and examples.

Default key bindings.

Å the command is executed if the keyboard is in application mode.
