Re: emacs and screen

[Valentin Plechinger]

Screen interprets C-<arrows> as M-O a/b/c/d.
You could either change your .emacs to make those keys do the same as the arrow 
keys,
or change your .screenrc. I don't really use screen (tmux messed that up too 
though) that much so I'm not sure how to do that.
