Fixed in commit 903c760.

Duplicate of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=25096 (... yes, a 10yr+ old request!)

Currently you can use, for example, ':digraph U+20AC' command.

It would be interesting to allow specifying digraphs, using, e.g. ':digraph e- U+20AC' etc., and to remove a digraphs as well using, e.g. ':digraph e- 0'. Opinions?

This was spawned out of a desire to fix the Eu digraph to use € - the value that, for example, vim uses for ^K Eu.
Unfortunately that's not possible since that character is U+20AC, multibyte.

I have no idea what would be impacted by trying to use a larger type for that array.

I'll certainly look into it, but filing this in the hopes that it would be easy for someone more familiar with the code to do.

Additionally, it would be nice if screen exposed a configuration file for adding/modifying digraphs.
