I'm used to keyboard shortcuts like ^a (go to the beginning of the line) in a terminal session.



When I'm running GNU "screen" (so I can resume an ssh session after packing up my laptop), a bunch of those, such as ^a, don't seem to exist. Or conflict with screen's.



How can I get them, or something like that, back when running screen?
