While using screen, I use in some application (ne, Nice Editor, to edit text files) the ctrl-q and ctrl-s bindings.

But these keys are bound to xon/xoff commands.

How could I replace these bindings, with (e.g. ctrl-& or ctrl-" or ctrl-o) modifying the .screenrc configuration file ?

One possible solution is to disable the flow control.

So to avoid C-q and C-s to be blocked by screen, one need to disable flow control.

This can be done using the flow off command while screen is running.

This can also be configured in the .screenrc file:

defflow off

This is sufficient and no other binding (or un-binding) are necessary.
