byobu: How to force close a window?
One of the windows within my byobu session mysteriously stops receiving keystrokes. I can open new windows, but that particular window just hangs.
So now, every time I invoked byobu
, I see 3 windows: 2 that I'm actually using, plus that 1 window that just sits there.
Is there a way to kill that wayward window? Preferably, just that one window. But if I need to clear the whole session, is also alright.
Ctrl-a + k kills the currently focused window after a y/n
confirmation in screen/byobu.
You can use Byobu's hotkey, Ctrl-F6 to force-kill windows or panes.
