Great! You can switch between screens using Control-A and the screen number. I hadn't even known about the function keys until now.

  Also $ESCAPE-space and $ESCAPE-backspace move sequentially among screens. control-a is screen's default $ESCAPE, but it's a poor choice given the use of control-a for beginning-of-line. I'm pretty happy with backtick (`) with no modifier now that I'm using $(...) for bash sub commands. You can't use byobu to change $ESCAPE to a sequence that doesn't use control, but it is easily set via "escape ``" in ~/.screenrc.

    FYI, for the expected control-a behavior press the 'a' again after control-a.

      Yep. But "control-a" is a muscle reflex, and using anything else will make a certain set of users (at least emacs users) much happier.
