(C-a k, C-a C-k)
Kill the current window.
If there is an exec
command running (see Exec) then it is killed.
Otherwise the process (e.g. shell) running in the window receives a
HANGUP
condition,
the window structure is removed and screen (your display) switches to another
window. When the last window is destroyed, screen
exits.
After a kill screen switches to the previously displayed window.
Caution: emacs
users may find themselves killing their
emacs
session when trying to delete the current line. For this
reason, it is probably wise to use a different command character
(see Command Character) or rebind kill
to another key
sequence, such as C-a K (see Key Binding).
