How do I reset Byobu's settings?

Solution 1:

  • Delete your ~/.byobu folder. This folder contains most of your keybindings, and config settings.

  • You can also launch byoby-config and change your configuration there (It does not allow changing screenbindings, only notification panel). This is the same binary which is launched on pressing F9

  • Lastly try reinstalling with a purge (apt-get purge byobu) and install it again (apt-get install byobu)
