I’d like to run Kaimon server in byobu and detach, it seems that Tachikoma grabs F12. Is there a way to do that?

OK, found it: I can detach from another terminal:
```bash
tmux ls # find the session
tmux detach-client -s 1 # detach by id
```
and attach with
```bash
tmux attach -t 1
```

In fact I noticed that now F12 works fine with byobu and `kaimon` app, thanks for the fix or sorry if the problem was in this end ;-). So tricks with `tmux` are not necessary.

For anyone else left absolutely confused by this thread (and because googling Tachikoma and Kaimon didn’t help right away):

Hi, just seeing these messages as I was away from the Discourse for a couple weeks. If there are any remaining issues let me know. 🙂

Out of curiosity, did you change something in Tachikoma.jl because I am quite sure that F12 (byobu ‘command’ key) did not get through?
Many thanks for these two excellent packages!

No, F12 was never bound to anything that I’m aware of.
