Ctrl+A on TeraTerm prompt

Question

I have used TeraTerm usually and wondering why Ctrl+A key would not work (nothing happened), as expected to move the current input position to the start of the line, on BASH prompt using TeraTerm. While the other key-bindings to move cursor, e.g. Ctrl+B, +E and +F, work as expected, thanks to the GNU Readline package.

Any help?

Answer 1

Confirm whether Ctrl-A is assinged.

$ bind -p | grep '\C-a'
"\C-a": beginning-of-line

Or, don't you use screen command?

Bingo! I have always used GNU Screen, thats it. Could not we use Ctrl+A on Screen prompt?

with screen, "Ctrl-a a" for beginning-of-line (see man screen).

or change esc key for screen. i wrote in ~/.screenrc
escape ^Z^Z

Yes, I myself read this: https://superuser.com/questions/142680/bash-vs-gnu-screen-replace-ctrl-a-with-ctrl-shift-a I got to know for the first time two keystrokes, "Ctrl+a" and "a" do the things I expected. My first OP to you as BA. Great thanks.
