I've been using byobu for ~4 years at this point and I do not remember this behavior before. If I press F1 (this always happens by accident actually, with the exception of initial setup I never want to see this menu again) which brings up the byobu configuration menu the normal way to exit is to press the escape key. This used to bring me right back to the byobu tab I was on. But now, it closes the current tab, making me lose that tab. I can't tell if the session / programs are still running (haven't tested anything really).
How do I fix this behavior so it doesn't close? Is it a new bug / change in behavior? Or is there some potential odd thing in my setup that could be causing this?
I'm using a mac.

Add the following lines to the
~/.byobu/keybindings.tmux
file:This removes a
-k
argument of thenew-window
command which kills the existing window and replaces it. I don't know if this issue affects other operating systems; I suspect this is a macOS X issue.
