Bug Description

Hello,

I have been able to reproduce the issue in two machines.

#byobu --version
byobu version 5.74
Screen version 4.01.00devel (GNU) 2-May-06

Install byobu, choose screen as backend and start. Then you do CTRL-a and you get offered to choose emacs or screen mode. You choose Screen mode and then you try to create another terminal, it is frozen.

I have seen that this is written in the .byobu/keybindings:

escape "^Aa"
register x "^A"
bindkey "^A" eval "process x"

If I remove this lines, then byobu offer me to choose again and it writes it again the same

I have compared with a byobu from 12.04 and this is what appears in the same file:

escape "^Aa"
register x "^A"
bindkey "^A"

It doesnt appear the 'eval "process x"'.

When I write this in the config file, everything works nicely.

Kind regards.
