So many people hit this, and then use screen less, and everyone adopts a different alternative.

I suspect a screen fork which simply adopts new standard emacs/bash-compatible defaults could eventually overtake the original in usage.

I use ctrl-_ (aka ctrl-7) for screen/tmux commands. I don't its functionality in Vim. Not sure if it helps for Emacs.

I use backtick as the screen command, which is fine unless you write a lot of bash scripts.

$ screen -e '``'

I'll give that a try ... I had to do screen -e '\`\`'

Change the C-a binding to C-z.
