===== Default Keybindings =====

  * ''C-a k''
  * ''C-a C-k''

===== Syntax =====

  * ''**kill**''

===== Description =====

Kill current window.

If there is an ''[[commands:exec]]'' command running then it is killed.
Otherwise the process (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.

Note:  ''emacs'' users should keep this command in mind, when killing a
line.  It is recommended not to use ''C-a'' as the screen escape key or to
rebind ''kill'' to ''C-a K''.
