10.3 Kill
=========
-- Command: kill
('C-a k', 'C-a C-k')
Kill the current window.
If there is an 'exec' command running (
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 (
Command Character) or rebind 'kill' to another key sequence, such
as 'C-a K' (Key Binding).
