Quit screen on german keyboard

On a german keyboard the key binding for 'quit' on GNU screen does not seem to work for me (on Max OS X). But one can simply invoke the quite command directly through the command mode:

  • Ctrl-A : quit


Save screen scrollback buffer to file

Type:

  • Ctrl-A : hardcopy -h file.txt

For me this saves a lot of leading blank lines, but this is ok.
