Hello,
I am very new to screen and I have hit C-Something instead of C-a. Now I cannot detach or do any other commands. What can I do to detatch my screen session?
Thank you.

A:
If all else fails, login from another terminal and type: screen -raAdx. This will reattach your screen as shared and allow you to detach it.

ctrl-a+d detaches
Alternative to detatch if you don't need the information on the screen you can simply kill the process.
Not sure of any command that renders the screen unresponsive.

^D (C-D) does not terminate the screen! It may possibly log out of your shell session, which closes the shell session, and thus your screen session, but that won't be the case if you are running more than one window, a foreground application, and other things.

You can also merely logout, by killing the terminal session, then login again and reattach the screen session.
