I often find myself using Byobu on a Linux machine when connected to it over SSH. In doing so, I've noticed that many of the documented keyboard shortcuts don't work. This can be due to the native PC's OS intercepting certain keys, or possibly other reasons.
Below is a cheatsheet with Byobu features I have found usually work when run over a SSH connection.
| Action | Windows + Putty to Ubuntu | MacOS + Terminal to Ubuntu |
|---|---|---|
| Help menu | BASH: byobu-config | FN-F1 |
| Create new window | CTRL-a c | CTRL-a c or FN-F2 |
