Comment 4 for bug 945069

For anyone else who finds this bug report seeking a workaround, changing ~/.byobu/backend to BYOBU_BACKEND=screen worked for me. I had to press ctrl-a and choose either screen or emacs mode for ctrl-right to work. Now I'm back to jumping words and I think my productivity just went up 15%. :-)

I'd still like to see a solution that works with tmux, because the single-line status bar is nice, and it sounds like tmux is the future for byobu.
