Bug Description

The key combination "shift-F6" doesn't remove the current split.
It seems that there's a missconfiguration in the default config: /usr/share/byobu/keybindings/common and /usr/share/byobu/keybindings/f-keys:bindkey
Line 50:
bindkey "^[[17;2~" remove # shift-F6 | kill this split

Line 68:
bindkey "^[[17;2~" eval 'exec touch /var/run/screen/S-$USER/byobu.no-logout' 'detach' # ctrl-F6 | detach, but don't logout

byobu version 3.33
Screen version 4.00.03jw4 (FAU) 2-May-06 running on ubuntu 11.04

Hi there, thanks for the report.

You're correct -- the inline comments and the behavior are inconsistent in your version of Byobu.

This is fixed in newer versions of Byobu.

Shift-F6 detaches from byobu, but does not log out of the system.

I'll make Ctrl-F6 kill the current split.

Thanks!
