    KEYBINDINGS
    byobu keybindings can be user defined in /usr/share/byobu/keybindings/ (or within .screenrc if byobu-export was used). The common key bindings
    are:

    F2 - Create a new window

    F3 - Move to previous window

    F4 - Move to next window

    F5 - Reload profile

    F6 - Detach from this session

    F7 - Enter copy/scrollback mode

    F8 - Re-title a window

    F9 - Configuration Menu

    F12 - Lock this terminal

    shift-F2 - Split the screen horizontally

    ctrl-F2 - Split the screen vertically

    shift-F3 - Shift the focus to the previous split region

    shift-F4 - Shift the focus to the next split region

    shift-F5 - Join all splits

    ctrl-F6 - Remove this split

    ctrl-F5 - Reconnect GPG and SSH sockets

    shift-F6 - Detach, but do not logout

    alt-pgup - Enter scrollback mode

    alt-pgdn - Enter scrollback mode

    Ctrl-a $ - show detailed status

    Ctrl-a R - Reload profile

    Ctrl-a ! - Toggle key bindings on and off

    Ctrl-a k - Kill the current window

    Ctrl-a ~ - Save the current window's scrollback buffer

    SCROLLBACK, COPY, PASTE MODES
    Each window in Byobu has up to 10,000 lines of scrollback history, which you can enter and navigate using the alt-pgup and alt-pgdn keys. Exit
    this scrollback mode by hitting enter. You can also easily copy and paste text from scrollback mode. To do so, enter scrollback using alt-pgup
    or alt-pgdn, press the spacebar to start highlighting text, use up/down/left/right/pgup/pgdn to select the text, and press enter to copy the
    text. You can then paste the text using alt-insert or ctrl-a-].
