How to quit ‘screen’ if you don’t have \ on the keyboard

keybindingskeyboard

To quit screen you need to hit ctrl+a, ctrl+\. How do you do that if you don't have \ on the keyboard?

On my keyboard I need to hit shift+alt+7 to get a backslash – if I'm in an editor. Won't work for screen of course.

One solution I meanwhile found was to create ~/.screenrc and add bind q quit to it. This allows me to quit by typing ctrl+a, q.

If you don't want to waste your CTRL-L, you can make CTRL-"] key" work like this:

:map CTRL-VCTRL-"] key" <C-]>

Assuming you use the czech keyboard:
