When the width of the currently focused pane (in the tmux sense) is too narrow to display the confirmation message Really quit and kill all your windows [y/n], Screen displays Width x chars too small and doesn't accept y or n. Is there a way to get it to either display a truncated y/n message or disable the confirmation altogether?
GNU screen prevent Width x chars too small message on exit (C-a C-\)
gnu screen
There's not much to work with, without modifying screen.  The latter message comes from Input, and simply returns without providing a status code (see source):if (len < 0)     {       LMsg(0, Width %d chars too small, -len);      return;     }Interestingly, that section was rewritten last year, removing the test but only commenting: Use size_t for len.  Likely the reason for removal was to fix a compiler warning (size_t is positive).The ChangeLog does not mention this change; it may not even have been intentional:+Version 4.3.0 (13/06/2015):+  * Introduce Xx string escape showing the executed command of a window+  * Implement dead/zombie window polling, allowing for auto reconnecting+  * Allow setting hardstatus on first line++  New Commands:+  * 'sort' command sorting windows by title+  * 'bumpleft', 'bumpright' - manually move windows on window list+  * 'collapse' removing numbering 'gaps' between windows, by renumbering+  * 'windows' command now accepts arguments for use with querying+So the most recent version (4.3.1) would not behave as you report.  At least, it will not prevent you from using the input-prompt.
